Earth and Life Global Biodiversity, Extinction Intervals and Biogeographic Perturbations Through Time /
This volume focuses on the broad pattern of increasing biodiversity through time, and recurrent events of minor and major ecosphere reorganization. Intense scrutiny is devoted to the pattern of physical (including isotopic), sedimentary and biotic circumstances through the time intervals during whic...
