The Ecology of the Cambrian Radiation Hardback
Edited by Andrey Zhuravlev, Robert (University of Tennessee) Riding
Part of the The Critical Moments and Perspectives in Earth History and Paleobiology series
Hardback
Description
The Cambrian radiation was the explosive evolution of marine life that started 550,000,000 years ago.
It ranks as one of the most important episodes in Earth history.
This key event in the history of life on our planet changed the marine biosphere and its sedimentary environment forever, requiring a complex interplay of wide-ranging biologic and nonbiologic processes. "The Ecology of the Cambrian Radiation" offers a comprehensive and surprising picture of the Earth at that ancient time.
The book contains contributions from 33authors hailing from ten countries and should be of interest to paleontologists, geologists, biologists, and other researchers interested in the global Earth-life system.
