"Unveiling the Ancient Ocean Crisis: Deoxygenation's Eerie Parallels to Today"
A study published in Nature Geosciences reveals that oceanic anoxia, or deoxygenation, played a significant role in marine extinctions during the Triassic-Jurassic period, with current levels of deoxygenation mirroring those of the past. The research highlights the sensitivity of marine ecosystems to local and global environmental changes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the fragility of present-day marine ecosystems in the face of increasing deoxygenation.
