Evolution of nitrogen cycling and primary productivity in the tropics during the Late Ordovician mass extinction

Yan Chen et al.

Summary: The Late Ordovician was characterized by global climate changes, oceanic redox condition variations, and the Late Ordovician mass extinction. By studying a deep marine section in the Yangtze Shelf Sea, researchers were able to uncover the evolution of nitrogen cycling and primary productivity in marine ecosystems. The findings suggest that marine primary productivity was influenced by fixed nitrogen sources and spatial variations in surface water redox conditions.

Mechanism and implications of upwelling from the Late Ordovician to early Silurian in the Yangtze region, South China

Shengchao Yang et al.

Summary: Studies have found widespread oceanic upwelling in the Yangtze region during the Late Ordovician to early Silurian transition, possibly driven by glacially-influenced temperature differences between the poles and equator and longshore trade winds. This upwelling event may have led to organic matter accumulation in South China and could be considered a geological indicator of Late Ordovician glaciation and the Boda warm Event prior to the Hirnantian cooling.

Redox changes in the outer Yangtze Sea (South China) through the Hirnantian Glaciation and their implications for the end-Ordovician biocrisis

Na Li et al.

Summary: During the Late Ordovician mass extinction, two pulses of faunal mortality occurred as a result of expanded marine euxinia, affecting both inner and outer Yangtze Sea. The less-studied outer Yangtze Sea sections show changes in marine redox conditions, chemical weathering rates, and primary productivity. The contraction and expansion of oceanic euxinia in response to continental weathering intensity and sulfate availability played a significant role in shaping marine redox variations and influencing the biotic crisis during this time period.

Major volcanic eruptions linked to the Late Ordovician mass extinction: Evidence from mercury enrichment and Hg isotopes

Dongping Hu et al.

Summary: The Late Ordovician mass extinction was the second most severe Phanerozoic biodiversity crisis, with uncertain triggering and killing mechanisms. Studies have shown mercury enrichments in multiple regions globally during the Late Ordovician, indicating an increase in environmental mercury loading, possibly due to volcanic activity.
