TL;DR: The Late Paleozoic (Early Devonian to Middle Permian) was an interval of profound changes in Earth-surface systems, reflected in dynamic interplay among the biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A high-resolution and continuous conodont apatite oxygen isotope record spanning the late Visean to Middle Permian is reported from South China, which is interpreted with respect to the ice volume and/or tropical seawater temperature history of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA).

TL;DR: The mid-Tournaisian carbon isotope excursion (TICE) as discussed by the authors was probably triggered by an increase in organic carbon burial rates linked to changes in global ocean circulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the sedimentary successions and four fossil groups, including rugose corals, brachiopods, fusulinaceans and conodonts, from the Carboniferous and Lower Permian of South China have been studied in order to reveal sedimentary characteristics and evolutionary pattern of main biological groups in the East Tethyan region during the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated study of the litho-, bio-, and chemostratigraphy of the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary at four sections (Qilinzhai, Malanbian, Gedongguan and Long'an) in South China was undertaken in order to better understand paleoenvironmental changes and controls on δ 13 C carb variation during the Hangenberg Crisis.
