How important is Biodiversity?

GEOMAR coordinates large scale EU project on biodiversity research in the Baltic

The mid-Cretaceous is  a time of high tectonic activity that drove the breaking up of the super-continent Pangaea. The new study explains how the opening and widening of new ocean basins around Africa, South America and Europe created additional space where large amounts of atmospheric CO2 was fixed by photosynthetic organisms like marine algae Grafik: Ron Blakey, NAU Geology (CC BY-SA 3.0)
