Resilience and Renewal: Unraveling the Mysteries of Terrestrial Ecosystem Recovery Post-End Permian Mass Extinction
Wildlife & BiologyRecovery of Terrestrial Ecosystems after the End-Permian Mass Extinction Preface The End-Permian mass extinction, which occurred approximately 252 million years ago, is considered the most severe extinction event in Earth’s history. It resulted in the loss of approximately 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species. The recovery of terrestrial ecosystems after this
Are cattle really contributing to global warming?
Climate & Climate ZonesDo cattle really contribute to global warming? As concern about climate change and its impact on the environment continues to grow, the role of cattle in contributing to global warming has become a topic of significant discussion.
