A new study has revealed that a region of the Turpan-Hami Basin in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was an "oasis of life" for terrestrial plants during a catastrophic biological crisis that occurred on Earth about 252 million years ago.
The study, led by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, was published in the Science Advances journal on Thursday.
