Biotic impacts of temperature before, during, and after the end-Permian extinction: A multi-metric and multi-scale approach to modeling extinction and recovery dynamics

Extinction and delayed recovery during the end-Permian extinction and Early Triassic has been linked to environmental instability brought on by volcanic outgassing and greenhouse conditions, but the relative importance of the myriad of environmental stressors at this time on recovery dynamics is not well understood. Previous workers have documented both overall delayed biotic recovery for the entirety of the Early Triassic, but also incipient...
