Terrestrial life oasis from end-#Permian mass #extinction period discovered
phys.org/news/2025-03-terrestr paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv

"a region in Turpan-Hami Basin served as a refugium for terrestrial #plants during the end-Permian #MassExtinction... The discovery provides the first conclusive fossil evidence of a terrestrial plant community that remained largely undisturbed throughout the extinction event, allowing for continuous evolution and rapid ecological recovery afterward."

Nature *is* beautiful. As a kid I thought a lot with such refugia.

Remember: no matter how hard the technocapitalists try, they won't be able to erase life. In a few million years, there'll be little trace of the anthropocene left.

(this is the bedrock of my optimism. I am even convinced that we can well hope for more and that some human communities will be able to manage not even so badly through the collapse of the industrial society.)
