Permian, Oasis and A Life

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,
China discovers terrestrial "Life oasis" from end-Permian mass extinction period
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.

Scientists discover a ‘life oasis’ that survived Earth’s deadliest mass extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction, which struck around 252 million years ago, was the most devastating biological crisis in Earth's history. Over 80% of marine species disappeared, leaving the oceans nearly lifeless.
Chinese fossil site suggests land plants survived Earth’s worst mass extinction
A recently uncovered fossil location in China’s Turpan-Hami Basin suggests that some terrestrial ecosystems were only marginally affected by the most cataclysmic extinction event in Earth’s history, the end-Permian mass extinction.
