The relation between the Givetian and Serpukhovian biotic crises and long-term environmental trend changes
Explanations for major catastrophes in the history of life commonly focus on their time-spans. Less biotic crises are worth attention as well, however, which requires their investigation in a longer-lasting context. The present study relates the Taghanic (Givetian) and mid-Carboniferous (Serpukhovia...

description | Explanations for major catastrophes in the history of life commonly focus on their time-spans. Less biotic crises are worth attention as well, however, which requires their investigation in a longer-lasting context. The present study relates the Taghanic (Givetian) and mid-Carboniferous (Serpukhovian) biotic crises to some long-term changes in their environmental developments. The trends in these developments are interpreted on the basis of changes of the global sea level, the global average temperatures, the total surface area of exposed land, the total number of lithospheric plates, and the concentration of atmospheric oxygen. It is found that the Taghanic and mid-Carboniferous biotic crises can be related directly or indirectly to some long-term environmental changes. |
