Fire Sphere Cycle (FSC) Earth System Coupling Model: A Unified Framework for Interpreting Life Origin and Evolution, Algal Productivity, Fossil Energy Enrichment, and Global Marine Mass Extinctions

The Fire-Sediment Cycle (FSC) model proposes a unified Earth system framework linking life origin, Phanerozoic mass extinctions, and fossil energy accumulation to periodic paleowildfire activity. The model identifies wildfire as a planetary-scale endogenous regulatory agent, driv...
