 Biodiversity May Need Millions of Years to Recover
Kirchner's analysis of long term trends in the fossil record suggests that natural speed limits constrain how quickly biodiversity can rebound after waves of extinction.
Kirchner has been mining a fossil database created by the late University of Chicago paleontologist Jack Sepkoski, who catalogued the genera and families of fossil marine animals over the past 530 million years, from the Cambrian to the present.
Kirchner's analysis found that extinction rates and diversification rates are about equally variable over long spans of geological time.

 Science Today Transcript 631
James Kirchner of the University of California, Berkeley says that's much longer than previously thought and goes to show that extinction has a domino effect.
Kirchner: Because individual species are so interdependent, the elimination of one species will have knock on effects through many others - through everything that feeds on it, everything that in other ways, depends on that species.
Kirchner: No one had been able to do that before because the mathematical techniques you need to be able to draw those connections, given the uneven spacing of the fossil record, are available in astrophysics.

 The Daily Californian
Kirchner used an astrophysical technique normally applied to deal with the varying visibility of events in outer space to connect the dots and discern the underlying trends of species death and replenishment contained in the database.
Kirchner's work has established that the replenishment of biodiversity has an inherent speed limit, but many important parts of the puzzle remain unclear, especially the implications such a limit holds for the future.
Kirchner observed that the average span of a mammalian species such as mankind is 1 million years; ten times too short to see amends made for the mistakes of today.

 The Daily Californian
UC Berkeley professor of earth and planetary science James Kirchner has been collaborating with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry to measure long-term rates of soil erosion and weathering at the Earth's surface.
Kirchner and his team of graduate students have spent the better part of 10 years setting up global field sites to investigate how the different processes that concert rock to soil are linked to climate, temperature, precipitation, and topography.
Kirchner's group showed that in the mountains of central Idaho, erosion rates averaged over 10,000 to 100,000 years are 10 times higher than what others had estimated from measurements over the past several decades.

 Gaia hypothesis - Lovelock's initial hypothesis, Critical analysis, DaisyWorld simulations, The First Gaia Conference
A hypothesis, first proposed by James Lovelock in 1972, which considers the Earth as an intimately linked system of physical, chemical, and biological processes, interacting in a self-regulating way to maintain the conditions necessary for life.
At the conference James Kirchner criticised the Gaia hypothesis for its imprecision.
Some have found James Kirchner's suggested spectrum proposed at the First Gaia Chapman Conference, useful in suggesting that the original Gaia hypothesis could be split into a spectrum of hypotheses, ranging from the undeniable (Weak Gaia) to the radical (Strong Gaia).

 Dr. James Lovelock
In fact, James Hutton (1727-1797), often considered to be the father of modern geoscience, authored the concept of the rock cycle, which depicts the interrelationships between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
James W. Kirchner went on to publish further critique in his article "The Gaia hypothesis: can it be tested?" in Reviews of Geophysics 27:2, 223-235, 1989.
James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis coined the phrase the Gaia hypothesis to suggest not only that life has a greater influence on the evolution of the Earth than is typically assumed across most earth science disciplines but also that life serves as an active control system.

 01.03.2002 - Inherent speed limit governs how quickly life bounces back after extinction, UC Berkeley research shows
The results imply that the diversification of life obeys "speed limits" set by evolutionary processes, said study author James Kirchner, professor of earth and planetary science at UC Berkeley.
The paper by Kirchner appears in the Jan. 3, 2002, issue of the journal Nature.
Using a technique called spectral analysis, Kirchner has looked for patterns in the rates at which new organisms appear or disappear.

The debate was over the smaller, background extinctions that pepper the fossil record, in which 10 to 20 percent of species died out.
Weil and Kirchner compared the rate of extinction of fossil marine organisms with the rate of evolution or "origination" over the past 530 million years.

The results imply that the diversification of life obeys "speed limits" set by evolutionary processes, said study author James Kirchner of UC-Berkeley.
Last year Kirchner and colleague Anne Weil reported that the Earth needs, on average, about 10 million years to recover from global extinctions -- whether they involve the loss of most life on Earth or wipe out far fewer species.
This is important because, if rapid diversification is possible, biodiversity might be able to rebound quickly from a global extinction.

 Mass extinction comes every 62 million years, UC physicists discover
But the cycles are so clear that the evidence "simply jumps out of the data," said James Kirchner, a professor of earth and planetary sciences on the Berkeley campus who was not involved in the research but who has written a commentary on the report that is also appearing in Nature today.
"Their discovery is exciting, it's unexpected and it's unexplained," Kirchner said.
And it is certain, he added, to send other scientists in many disciplines seeking explanations for the strange cycles.
