Charcoal evidence that rising atmospheric oxygen terminated Early Jurassic ocean anoxia
Numerical models predict that during an oceanic anoxic event (OAE), increased organic carbon burial drives a rise in atmospheric oxygen leading to the event’s termination. Here, the authors present evidence suggesting that the Toarcian OAE was terminated by rising oxygen and associated fire-feedback...
