Abstract

Scientists have long sought to understand what drivesbiodiversity changes. A study unifies ideas about marine and terrestrial biodiversity in one explanatory framework, pointing to physical geography as dictating life’s trajectory. Writing in Nature( p.115), Salleset al.1 present numerical simulations of changing continental landscapes during the past 540 million years, representing the high-resolution changes in surface elevation (topography) on land and the associated sedimentary fluxes resulting from the effect of interactions between climate and plate tectonics on landscape.
