Research shows how Earth's climate suddenly warmed 10°C, transforming ecosystems and causing the worst mass extinction in history.

The simulated vegetation under changed climate with a CO 2 concentration of 500 ppmv and a baseline biome map were also compared using the ΔV statistic (ΔV = 0.4). The climate change would cause a ...
