I was told that the subterestrial microorganism bio mass exceeded the combined plant and animal and marine bio mass by a large measure but I can not find any supporting information in this reguard. I am wondering, since these organisms are the oldest life form on earth how their populations were effected in the super-continent (Rodinia, Pannotia and Pangaea [95% mass extinction event 251 million year ago]) migrations over the eons. Considering surface and marine total populations have endured a 95% species extermination event, I estimate the geological continental migrations would effect subteranian microb habitat. But since microorganism are mostly single celled what kind of archeological evidence could be used to estimate those 500 million to 1 billion year old populations. Feedback and reference links are appreciated for further research. |
