Plants Nearly Wiped Out Marine Life Twice in Earth's History
Share:
Scientific research has revealed that plant life on Earth nearly caused the extinction of marine organisms on two separate occasions throughout the planet's history. The findings shed new light on how the evolution and proliferation of terrestrial vegetation dramatically altered ocean ecosystems, creating conditions that threatened marine biodiversity. These events demonstrate how major evolutionary developments on land can have catastrophic consequences for life in the seas, fundamentally reshaping Earth's biological systems.
