Permian, Extinction event and Oasis

The remote locale that shielded plants during Earth’s biggest mass extinction
About 252 million years ago, 80 to 90 percent of life on Earth was wiped out. In the Turpan-Hami Basin, life persisted and bounced back faster.
A Life Oasis Protected Plants During the Permian Mass Extinction Event
Even during one of Earth's largest mass extinction events, where heat waves kill of a majority of Earth's species, at least one oasis of survival existed. The findings suggest that there may have been pockets of protection throughout Earth - challenging the notion that the heat affected life on the planet uniformly,
Terrestrial 'life oasis' from end-Permian mass extinction period discovered in China
A new study reveals that a region in China's Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium, or "life oasis," for terrestrial plants during the end-Permian mass extinction, the most severe biological crisis since the Cambrian period.
