75% Informative
Scientists have identified a refuge in China where it seems that plants weathered the planet's worst die-off.
The end- Permian mass extinction, also known as the " Great Dying ," took place 251.9 million years ago .
In this place, seed-producing gymnosperm forests continued to grow, complemented by spore-producing ferns.
Finding adds weight to the idea that the Great Dying was more complicated on land than in the seas.
Study finds greenhouse gas pulses from volcanoes were on a similar scale to what humans are expected to emit by the end of this century .
The polar ice caps melted completely, causing sea levels to rise 230 feet ( 70 meters ) today .
Studying ancient catastrophes can give us a sense of what to expect under atmospheric carbon dioxide levels people have never experienced, Gastaldo said.
