Fungal event and palynological record of ecological crisis and recovery across the Permian-Triassic boundary
@article{Eshet1995FungalEA, title={Fungal event and palynological record of ecological crisis and recovery across the Permian-Triassic boundary}, author={Yoram Eshet and Michael R. Rampino and Henk Visscher}, journal={Geology}, year={1995}, volume={23}, pages={967-970} }
The end of the Permian Period was marked by the most severe mass extinction in the geologic record. Detailed quantitative study of pollen and spores from shallow-marine deposits spanning the Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) boundary in Israel reveals a sequence of palynological-ecological stages reflecting a major crisis among land plants. The disappearance of the gymnosperm-dominated palynoflora of the Late Permian Lueckisporites virkkiae Zone is recorded at a claystone horizon containing almost…

The significant time lag between terrestrial ecosystem collapse and selective extinction among characteristic Late Permian plants is documented, and the time-delayed, end-Permian plant extinctions resemble modeled “extinction debt” responses of multispecies metapopulations to progressive habitat destruction.
