“…Six papers report various fossil groups (bivalves, corals, and plants) (F. Chen, Xue, Yan, & Meng, 2021; Wan, Yang, Wang, Liu, & Wang, 2021; X. Wang, Yao, & Wang, 2021), trace fossils (Ding, Duan, Wu, & Cao, 2021), and carbon isotopic chemostratigraphy of the Permian (Q. Ma, et al, 2021; Wei, Tang, Gu, Fu, & Zhang, 2021). Four papers focus on biotic, palaeoecological, and environmental variations across the Permian–Triassic (P‐Tr) boundary (Cui & Cao, 2021; Miao et al, 2021; Sun et al, 2021; H. Wu, Zhang, & Sun, 2021). Two papers (X. Shi, Lang, et al, 2021; H. Yang, Chen, Mei, & Sun, 2021) and one paper (Z. Ma, Hu, et al, 2021) concerns the Early Triassic palaeoecology and Middle Triassic palaeoenvironments, respectively.…”
