Increasing diversity and biotic homogenization of lake plankton during recovery from acidification

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Determining biodiversity responses to environmental change, such as acidification, is critical for ecosystem projections under future global change scenarios. Here, we analyzed three plankton communities of phytoplankton, crustaceans and rotifers in 28 lakes in the Adirondack Park, USA, during 1994-2012, and examined the spatiotemporal trends in their ...

Exceptional continental record of biotic recovery after the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction

Science, 2019
Terrestrial record of recovery The extinction that occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period is best known as the end of the nonavian dinosaurs. In theory, this paved the way for the expansion of mammals as well as other taxa, including plants. However, there are very few direct records of loss and recovery of biotic diversity

Macroinvertebrate recovery of a post-thermal stream: habitat structure and biotic function

Ecological Engineering, 2000
Abstract Macroinvertebrate faunal assemblages, organic matter availability and instream structural complexity were investigated in three systems to determine the current state of recovery of a post-thermal stream. The abundance and diversity of the lower foodchain community has recovered substantially since cessation of thermal flows in 1988; however,

The timing and pattern of biotic recovery following the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]

open access: yesNature Geoscience, 2012
The aftermath of the great end-Permian period mass extinction 252 Myr ago shows how life can recover from the loss of >90% species globally. The crisis was triggered by a number of physical environmental shocks (global warming, acid rain, ocean acidification and ocean anoxia), and some of these were repeated over the next 5-6 Myr.

Improving paleoenvironment in North China aided Triassic biotic recovery on land following the end-Permian mass extinction [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal and Planetary Change, 2022
The driver of the Early–Middle Triassic biotic recovery on land following the end-Permian crisis is puzzling. Here, we show the biotic recovery was gradual and spanned up to 8 Myr after the end-Permian mass extinction, based on continuous, well-dated ...
