TLDR
The Furongian gap as mentioned in this paper is defined as the gap between the Cambrian Explosion and the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, exemplified by a marked drop in biodiversity.About:

Early Palaeozoic diversifications and extinctions in the marine biosphere: a continuum of change
TL;DR: A review of biodiversity curves of marine organisms indicates that, despite fluctuations in amplitude (some large), a large-scale, long-term radiation of life took place during the early Palaeozoic Era; it was aggregated by a succession of more discrete and regionalized radiations across geographies and within phylogenies.

Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives

TL;DR: In this paper, molecular clock data suggest with high probability a Cambrian origin of Embryophyta (also called land plants), indicating that their terrestrialization most probably started about 500 Ma.

The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) is Not a Single Event
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical analysis of published biodiversity curves and of their own data confirm the traditional view; the Ordovician radiation is a complex, long-term process of multiple biodiversifications of marine organisms.

A meta-analysis of the Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion: The SPICEraq database
Mikaela A. Pulsipher,James D. Schiffbauer,Matthew Jarrell Jeffrey,Matthew Jarrell Jeffrey,John Warren Huntley,David A. Fike,Kevin L. Shelton +6 more
TL;DR: The Steptoean Positive Isotopic Carbon Excursion (SPICE) is a prominent chemostratigraphic feature in the Lower Paleozoic. as discussed by the authors quantitatively evaluate the variability in SPICE records, and document that while the excursion is a global signature, its stratigraphic expression is influenced by such conditions as paleolatitude, paleocontinent, water depth, and facies.

Ordovician and Silurian sea–water chemistry, sea level, and climate: A synopsis
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the relationships of the three major biotic events to chemical and physical processes occurring in the ocean and atmosphere during the Ordovician and Silurian, including sea-level changes, geochemical proxies (δ13C, δ18O, 87Sr/86Sr) of the ocean waters, and the evolution of the atmosphere (oxygen and carbon dioxide content).

Large-scale heterogeneity of the fossil record: implications for Phanerozoic biodiversity studies.
TL;DR: Data on rock outcrop area compiled for post-Palaeozoic sediments from Western Europe at stage level are presented and show a strongly cyclical pattern corresponding to first- and second-order sequence stratigraphical depositional cycles.

Advances in Cambrian stratigraphy and paleontology: Integrating correlation techniques, paleobiology, taphonomy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction
TL;DR: A generalized curve of carbon isotopes (δ13C) through the Cambrian suggests a relationship between major biotic events, sea level history and the development of deposits of exceptional preservation (Lagerstatten).
