Biotic interactions drive key ecological and evolutionary processes and mediate ecosystem
responses to climate change. The direction, frequency, and intensity of biotic interactions …

The ocean has been shielding the earth from the worst effects of rapid climate change by
absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This absorption of CO 2 is driving …

Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary
successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes …

The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

The end-Triassic extinction is one of the Phanerozoic's largest mass extinctions. This
extinction is typically attributed to climate change associated with degassing of basalt flows …

The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known.
Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous …

Coral reefs across the world have been seriously degraded and have a bleak future in
response to predicted global warming and ocean acidification (OA). However, this is not the …

The end-Triassic mass extinction overlapped with the eruption of the Central Atlantic
Magmatic Province (CAMP), and release of CO 2 and other volcanic volatiles has been …

Tipping points–where systems shift radically and potentially irreversibly into a different state–
have received considerable attention in ecology. Although there is convincing evidence that …

Large-igneous-province volcanic activity during the mid-Cretaceous triggered a global-scale
episode of reduced marine oxygen levels known as Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 approximately …
