When dinosaurs disappeared, forests thrived
Rainfall patterns remained largely unaffected despite dramatic climate changes It’s known that the primary cause of the mass extinction of dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago, was a meteorite impact. But the exact mechanisms that linked the meteorite impact to mass extinction remain unclear, though climactic changes are thought to have played a part. To understand how the mass extinction and associated climate changes affected specific ecosystems, a team of McGill scientists has analyzed th...
