Lower Carboniferous carbon isotope stratigraphy in South China: Implications for the Late Paleozoic glaciation
TL;DR: In this paper, three major positive carbon isotope excursions have been recognized in Lower Carboniferous in South China, and the three positive shifts of δ 13 C can be correlated with global carbon isotopes excursions and are consistent with the fall in global sea level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Was climatic cooling during the earliest Carboniferous driven by expansion of seed plants

TL;DR: The expansion of land plants is considered to have played a key role in triggering the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), but evidence linking climatic events to terrestrial floral changes is limited as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury spikes at the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary in the eastern part of the Rhenohercynian Zone (central Europe) and in the South China Block
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on Hg and other trace element contents in two Devonian-Carboniferous boundary sections from two different and spatially distant areas, the Lesni lom section (Czech Republic) and the Duli (Guangxi, China) sections in the South China Plate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carboniferous conodont zonation of China
TL;DR: In this article, the Carboniferous conodonts from the candidate GSSPs of the four stages Serpukhovian, Moscovian, Kasimovian and Gzhelian in the Naqing and the adjacent sections of South China have been intensely studied in recent decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in marine nitrogen fixation and denitrification rates during the end-Devonian mass extinction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed high-stratigraphic-resolution bulk-sediment nitrogen isotope variation (δ 15 N bulk ) in three sections from South China: (1) Long'an, an isolated carbonate platform section, (2) Qilinzhai, a shallow-water platform section between the Yangtze Oldland and the Youjiang Trough, and (3) Malanbian, a deep-water carbonate segment with isolated and continent-attached platforms and deepwater basins that influenced watermass circulation, nutrient
