„Infernul incendiilor de vegetație”. O problemă veche a Europei, începută acum 201 milioane de ani

The end-Triassic mass extinction, around 201 million years ago, was linked to massive volcanic eruptions and global warming, leading to increased fire activity fueled by ferns. A new study indicates that ferns thrived in the aftermath, creating a cycle of repeated wildfires. Researchers found evidence of heightened fire activity during this period, suggesting that climate change and deforestation can lead to devastating fires today.
