    Post-extinction recovery of the Phanerozoic oceans and biodiversity hotspots

    Palaeogeographical modelWe use palaeogeographical reconstructions describing Earth’s palaeotopography and palaeobathymetry for a series of time slices from 541 Ma to the present day. The reconstructions merge existing models from two published global reconstruction datasets—those of ref. 32 and ref. 33 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5348492), which themselves are syntheses of a wealth of previous work.For continental regions, estimates of palaeoelevation and continental flooding rely on a diverse range of geological evidence, such as sedimentary depositional environments and the spatiotemporal distribution of volcanic activity. For a full description, see a recent review34. Together, these data can be used to define the past locations of mountain ranges and palaeoshorelines34. For this part of our reconstruction, we used the compilation of ref. 33 with updated palaeoshorelines based on depositional environment information in current fossil databases35. This compilation comprises 82 palaeotopography maps covering the entire Phanerozoic. Note that each palaeogeographical map is a time slice representing the concatenation of geological data over several million years36.We quantified the impact of using the original compilation of ref. 33 on our model results and found only small changes with respect to using the reconstructions with updated palaeoshorelines (Extended Data Fig. 3a–c). Similarly, eustatic sea level is thought to have varied by around 100 m at timescales much shorter than the duration of the time-slices throughout the Phanerozoic37, such that the extent of continental flooding could have varied within each time slice by an amount significant for our analysis. For this reason, and to assess the uncertainty of our results to continental palaeogeography in general, we computed additional maps of continental flooding in which the sea level is raised or lowered by 100 m compared with the original palaeo–digital elevation model grids of ref. 33 (Extended Data Fig. 3d–f).For deep-ocean regions, the primary control on seafloor depth is the age of the seafloor, so reconstructing palaeobathymetry relies on constructing maps of seafloor age back in time38. As a consequence, we rely on reconstruction models that incorporate a continuous network of plate boundaries. For this part, we used the reconstruction of ref. 32 and derived maps of seafloor age from the plate tectonic model using the method of ref. 39 for which source code is available at GitHub (https://github.com/siwill22/agegrid-0.1). Palaeobathymetry is derived from the seafloor age maps following the steps outlined in ref. 38. It is important to note that seafloor age maps for most of the Phanerozoic (that is, pre-Pangaea times) are not directly constrained by data due to recycling of oceanic crust at subduction zones. Rather, they are model predictions generated by constructing plate motions and plate boundary configurations from the geological and palaeomagnetic record of the continents. Nonetheless, the first-order trends in ocean-basin volume and mean seafloor age are consistent with independent estimates for at least the last 410 million years (Myr)39.The reconstructions of refs. 32,33 differ in the precise locations of the continents through time. To resolve this discrepancy, we reverse reconstructed the continental palaeoelevation model of ref. 33 to present-day coordinates using their rotation parameters, then reconstructed them back in time using the rotations of ref. 32. Owing to the differences in how the continents are divided into different tectonic units, this process leads to some gaps and overlaps in the results40, which we resolved primarily through a combination of data interpolation and averaging. Manual adjustments were made to ensure that the flooding history remained consistent with the original palaeotopography in areas in which interpolation gives a noticeably different history of seafloor ages. The resulting palaeotopography maps are therefore defined in palaeomagnetic reference frame32 appropriate for use in Earth system models.For the biodiversity modelling, we generate estimates of the age of the seafloor for discrete points within the oceans and flooded continents, and track these ages through the lifetime of each point (Supplementary Video 5). For the oceans, this is achieved using the method described in ref. 39 in which the seafloor is represented by points that are incrementally generated at the mid-ocean ridges for a series of time steps 1 Myr apart, with each point tracked through subsequent time steps based on Euler poles of rotation until either the present-day is reached, or they arrive at a subduction zone and are considered to be destroyed.For the continents, tracking the location of discrete points is generally simpler as most crust is conserved throughout the timespan of the reconstruction. In contrast to the deep oceans (where we assume that crust is at all times submerged), we model the ‘age’ of the seafloor from the history of continental flooding and emergence within the palaeogeographical interpretation33. The continents are seeded with uniformly distributed points at the oldest timeslice (541 Ma) at which they are assigned an age of zero. These points are tracked to subsequent time slices of which the palaeogeography is used to determine whether the point lies within a flooded or emergent region. Points within flooded regions of continents are considered to be seafloor, and the age of this seafloor is accumulated across consecutive time slices where a given point lies within a flooded region. When a point is within an emergent region, the seafloor age is reset to zero. Following this approach, individual points within stable continents may undergo several cycles of seafloor age increasing from zero before being reset. At the continental margins formed during the Pangaea breakup, the age of the seafloor continuously grows from the onset of rifting. Intraoceanic island arcs represent an additional case, which can appear as new tectonic units with the reconstructions at various times. In these cases, we assume that the seafloor has a zero-age at the time at which the intraoceanic arc first develops, then remains predominantly underwater for the rest of its lifetime.Thus, for each of the 82 palaeogeographical reconstructions, we annotate 0.5° by 0.5° grids as continental, flooded continental shelf or oceanic for later use in model coupling and production of regional diversity maps.Palaeoenvironmental conditions under the cGENIE Earth system modelWe use cGENIE41, an Earth system model of intermediate complexity, to simulate palaeoenvironmental conditions of seawater temperature and organic carbon export production (as a surrogate for food supply) throughout the Phanerozoic (from 541 Ma to the present day).cGENIE is based on a three-dimensional (3D) ocean circulation model coupled to a 2D energy–moisture balance atmospheric component and a sea-ice module. We configured the model on a 36 × 36 (latitude, longitude) equal area grid with 17 unevenly spaced vertical levels in depth, down to a maximum ocean depth of 5,900 m. The cycling of carbon and associated tracers in the ocean is based on a size-structured plankton ecosystem model with a single (phosphate) nutrient42,43, and adopts an Arrhenius-type temperature-dependent scheme for the remineralization of organic matter exported to the ocean interior44.cGENIE provides a spatially resolved representation of ocean physics and biogeochemistry, which is a prerequisite for the present study to be able to reconstruct the spatial patterns of biodiversity in deep time. However, owing to the computational impracticality of generating a single transient simulation of physics (that is, temperature) and biogeochemistry (that is, export production) over the entire Phanerozoic, we therefore generate 30 model equilibria at regular time intervals throughout the Phanerozoic that are subsequently used as inputs for the regional diversification model (see the ‘Model coupling’ section).We used 30 Phanerozoic palaeogeographical reconstructions through time (~20 Myr evenly spaced time intervals) to represent key time periods. For each continental configuration corresponding to a given age in Earth history, we generate idealized 2D (but zonally averaged) wind speed and wind stress, and 1D zonally averaged albedo forcing fields45 required by the cGENIE model using the ‘muffingen’ open-source software (see the ‘Code availability’ section). For each palaeogeographical reconstruction, the climatic forcing (that is, solar irradiance and carbon dioxide concentration) is adapted to match the corresponding geological time interval. The partial pressure of CO2 is taken from the recent update of the GEOCARB model46. Solar luminosity is calculated using the model of stellar physics of ref. 47. We impose modern-day orbital parameters (obliquity, eccentricity and precession). The simulations are initialized with a sea-ice-free ocean, homogeneous oceanic temperature (5 °C) and salinity (34.9‰). As variations in the oceanic concentration of bio-available phosphate remain challenging to reconstruct in the geological past48,49, we impose a present-day mean ocean phosphate concentration (2.159 μmol kg−1) in our baseline simulations. We quantify the impact of this uncertainty on our model results by conducting additional simulations using half and twice the present-day ocean phosphate concentration (Extended Data Fig. 3g–i). For each ocean phosphate scenario (that is, 0.5×, 1× and 2× the present-day value), each of the 30 model simulations is then run for 20,000 years, a duration ensuring that deep-ocean temperature and geochemistry reach equilibrium. For each model simulation, the results of the mean annual values of the last simulated year are used for the analysis. Note that, although cGENIE makes projections of the distribution of dissolved oxygen ([O2]) in the ocean, our diversification model does not currently consider oxygenation to be a limit on diversity. Thus, we assumed a modern atmospheric partial pressure of O2 in all 30 palaeo simulations and did not use the resulting projected [O2] fields.Regional diversification modelWe tested two models of diversification—the logistic model and the exponential model—describing the dynamics of regional diversity over time. In both models, the net diversification rate (ρ), with units of inverse time (Myr−1), varies within a pre-fixed range of values as a function of seawater temperature and food availability. The net diversification rate is then calculated for a given location and time according to the following equation:$$rho ={rho }_{max }-({rho }_{max }-{rho }_{min })(1-{Q}_{{rm{temp}}}{Q}_{{rm{food}}})$$
    (1)
    where ρmin and ρmax set the lower and upper net diversification rate limits within which ρ is allowed to vary, and Qtemp and Qfood are non-dimensional limitation terms with values between 0 and 1 that define the dependence of ρ on temperature and food, respectively (Extended Data Table 1).The model considers a direct relationship between seawater temperature, food supply and the rate of net diversification on the basis of the theoretical control that temperature and food supply exert on the rates of origination and extinction (Supplementary Fig. 1). Temperature rise is expected to accelerate the biochemical kinetics of metabolism50 and shorten the development times of individuals51, leading to higher rates of mutation and origination. Greater food availability increases population sizes, which increases the rates of mutation and reduces the probability of extinction52. Furthermore, a large body of observations shows the existence of a positive relationship between resource availability (that is, food supply) and the standing stock of species in marine and terrestrial communities53,54. A larger food supply would support a greater number of individuals. A greater diversity of food resources could also lead to a finer partitioning of available resources55.The temperature dependence of ρ is calculated using the following equation:$${Q}_{{rm{temp}}}=frac{{Q}_{10}^{frac{T-Tmin }{10}}}{{Q}_{10}^{frac{Tmax -Tmin }{10}}}$$
    (2)
    where the Q10 coefficient measures the temperature sensitivity of the origination rate. In equation (2) above, T is the seawater temperature (in °C) at a given location and time, and Tmin and Tmax are the 0.01 percentile and the 0.99 percentile, respectively, of the temperature frequency distribution in each time interval. In the model, the values of Tmin and Tmax used to calculate Qtemp are therefore recomputed for every time interval (~5 Myr) according to the temperature frequency distribution of the corresponding time interval. This enables us to use updated Tmin and Tmax values in each Phanerozoic time interval and to account for the thermal adaptation of organisms to ever changing climate conditions.The food limitation term is parameterized using a Michaelis–Menten formulation as follows:$${Q}_{{rm{food}}}=frac{text{POC flux}}{left({K}_{{rm{food}}},+,text{POC flux}right)}$$
    (3)
    where POC flux (mol m−2 yr−1) is the particulate organic carbon export flux, which is used as a surrogate for food availability, at a given location and time of the simulated seafloor. The parameter Kfood (mol m−2 yr−1) in equation (3) is the half-saturation constant, that is, the POC flux at which the diversification rate is half its maximum value, provided that other factors were not limiting. These temperature and food supply limitation terms vary in space and time as a result of changes in seawater temperature and particulate organic carbon export rate, respectively, thereby controlling the spatial and temporal variability of ρ (Supplementary Video 6).The net diversification rate becomes negative (1) in the event of mass extinctions or (2) in response to regional-scale processes, such as sea-level fall and/or seafloor deformation along convergent plate boundaries. Mass extinction events are imposed as external perturbations to the diversification model by imputing negative net diversification rates to all active seafloor points (ocean points and flooded continental points) and assuming non-selective extinction. The percentage of diversity loss as well as the starting time and duration of mass extinctions are extracted from three fossil diversity curves of reference20,21,22 (Source Data for Fig. 1). Each of these fossil diversity curves provides different insights into the Phanerozoic history of marine animal diversity based on uncorrected range-through genus richness estimates20,22 and sampling standardized estimates21. Regional-scale processes—such as sea level fall during marine regressions and/or seafloor destruction at plate boundaries, either by subduction or uplift—are simulated by the combined plate tectonic–palaeoelevation model, and constrain the time that seafloor habitats have to accumulate diversity.The model assumes non-selective extinction during mass extinction events (that is, the field of bullets model of extinction; everything is equally likely to die, no matter the age of the clade and regardless of adaptation)56. However, there is much fossil evidence supporting extinction selectivity57,58. It could be argued that higher extinction rates at diversity hotspots would have delayed their subsequent recovery, flattening global diversity trends. This argument is difficult to reconcile with Sepkoski’s genus-level global diversity curve but could be consistent with the standardized diversity curve of ref. 21. Similarly, the model is also not suitable for reproducing the explosive radiations of certain taxonomic groups after mass extinctions, which could explain the offset between the model and fossil observations in the early Mesozoic (Fig. 1).Letting D represent regional diversity (number of genera within a given seafloor point) and t represent time, the logistic model is formalized by the following differential equation:$$frac{partial Dleft(tright)}{partial t}=rho Dleft[1-frac{D}{{K}_{{rm{eff}}}}right]$$
    (4)
    where D(t) is the number of genera at time t and Keff is the effective carrying capacity or maximum number of genera that a given seafloor point (that is, grid cell area after gridding) can carry at that time, t. In our logistic model, Keff is allowed to vary within a fixed range of values (from Kmin to Kmax) as a positive linear function of the POC flux at a given location and time as follows:$${K}_{{rm{eff}}}={K}_{max }-left({K}_{max }-{K}_{min }right)frac{{text{POC flux}}_{max }-text{POC flux}}{{text{POC flux}}_{max }-{text{POC flux}}_{min }}$$
    (5)
    where POC fluxmin and POC fluxmax correspond to the 0.01 and 0.99 quantiles of the POC flux range in the whole Phanerozoic dataset.In the logistic model, the net diversification rate decreases as regional diversity approaches its Keff. The exponential model is a particular case of the logistic model when Keff approaches infinity and, therefore, neither the origination rate nor the extinction rate depend on the standing diversities. In this scenario, diversity grows in an unlimited manner over time only truncated by the effect of mass extinctions and/or by the dynamics of the seafloor (creation versus destruction). Thus, the exponential model is as follows:$$frac{partial Dleft(tright)}{partial t}=rho D$$
    (6)
    where the rate of change of diversity (the time derivative) is proportional to the standing diversity D such that the regional diversity will follow an exponential increase in time at a speed controlled by the temperature- and food-dependent net diversification rate. Even if analytical solutions exist for the steady-state equilibrium of the logistic and exponential functions, we solved the ordinary differential equations (4) and (6) using numerical methods with a time lag of 1 Myr to account for the spatially and temporally varying environmental constraints, seafloor dynamics and mass extinction events.As the analysis of global fossil diversity curves is unable to discern the causes of diversity loss during mass extinctions, our imputation of negative diversification rates could have overestimated the loss of diversity in those cases in which sea level fall, a factor already accounted for by our model, contributed to mass extinction. This effect was particularly recognizable across the Permian–Triassic mass extinction (Extended Data Fig. 6d–f), and supports previous claims that the decline in the global area of the shallow water shelf exacerbated the severity of the end-Permian mass extinction34.Model couplingAs stated above, the coupled plate tectonic–palaeoelevation (palaeogeographical) model corresponds to a tracer-based model (a Lagrangian-based approach) that simulates and tracks the spatiotemporal dynamics of ocean and flooded continental points. The diversification models start at time 541 Ma with all active points having a D0 = 1 (one single genus everywhere) and we let points accumulate diversity heterogeneously with time according to seafloor age distributions (for ocean points) and the time that continents have been underwater (for flooded continental points). The ocean points are created at mid-ocean ridges and disappear primarily at subduction zones. Between their origin and demise, the points move following plate tectonic motions and we trace their positions while accumulating diversity. The flooded continental points begin to accumulate diversity from the moment that they are submerged, starting with a D value equal to the nearest neighbour flooded continental point with D  > 1, thereby simulating a process of coastal recolonization (or immigration). The diversification process remains active while the seafloor points remain underwater, but it is interrupted, and D set to 0, in those continental points that emerge above sea level. Similarly, seafloor points corresponding to ocean domains disappear in subduction zones, and their diversity is lost. We track the geographical position of the ocean and flooded continental points approximately every 5 Myr, from 541 Ma to the present. Each and every one of the tracked points accumulates diversity over time at a different rate, which is modulated by the environmental history (seawater temperature and food availability) of each point, as described in equations (1)–(3). When a point arrives in an environment with a carrying capacity lower than the diversity it has accumulated through time, we reset the diversity of the point to the value of the carrying capacity, thereby simulating local extinction.Seawater temperature (T) and food availability (POC flux) are provided by the cGENIE model, which has a spatial and temporal resolution coarser than the palaeogeographical model. The cGENIE model provides average seawater T and POC flux values in a 36 × 36 equal area grid (grid cell area equivalent to 2° latitude by 10° longitude at the equator) and 30 time slices or snapshots (from 541 Ma to the present: each ~20 Myr time intervals). To have environmental inputs for the 82 time slices of the plate tectonic–palaeoelevation model, we first interpolate the cGENIE original model output data on a 0.5° by 0.5° grid to match the annotated grids provided by the plate tectonic–palaeoelevation model. As the relatively coarse spatial resolution of the cGENIE model prevents rendering the coast–ocean gradients, we assign surface T and POC flux at the base of the euphotic zone to the flooded continental shelf grid cells, and deep ocean T and POC flux at the bottom of the ocean to the ocean grid cells. As there are time slices without input data of seawater T and POC flux, we interpolate/extrapolate seawater T and POC flux values into the 0.5° by 0.5° flooded continental shelf and ocean grids independently. Finally, we interpolate values from these 0.5° by 0.5° flooded continental shelf and ocean grids into the exact point locations in each time frame. Thus, each active point is tracked with its associated time-varying T and POC flux values throughout its lifetime. On average, 6,000 flooded continental points and 44,000 oceanic points were actively accumulating diversity in each time frame. The model cannot simulate the singularities of relatively small enclosed seas for which the spatial resolution of the palaeogeographical and Earth system models is insufficient to capture relevant features (such as palaeobathymetry, seawater temperature) in detail. The method is also likely to underestimate the diversity of epeiric (inland) seas due to the difficulty of simulating immigration, a process that is strongly influenced by the effect of surface ocean currents and is not considered here. However, as stated above, the model considers recolonization of recently submerged areas by marine biota from nearby coastal environments, which partially explains coastal immigration.Estimation of global diversity from regional diversityOur regional diversity maps are generated by separately interpolating ocean point diversity and flooded continental point diversity into the 0.5° by 0.5° annotated grids provided by the palaeogeographical model. We calculate global diversity at each time step from each of the regional diversity maps following a series of steps to integrate diversity along line transects from diversity peaks (maxima) to diversity troughs (minima) (Extended Data Fig. 1). To select the transects, first, we identify on each of the regional diversity maps the geographical position of the diversity peaks. We identify local maxima (that is, grid cells with diversity greater than their neighbour cells), and define the peaks as those local maxima with diversity greater than the 0.75 quantile of diversity values in all local maxima in the map. In the case of grid cells with equal neighbour diversity, the peak is assigned to the grid cell in the middle. We subsequently identify the geographical position of the diversity troughs, which are defined as newly formed ocean grid cells (age = 0 Myr) and, therefore, with diversities equal to one. The troughs are mostly located at mid-ocean ridges.On each of the 82 spatial diversity maps, we trace a line transect from each diversity peak to its closest trough, provided that the transect does not cross land in more than 20% of the grid cells along the linear path (Supplementary Video 7). On average, for each spatial diversity map, we trace 400 (σ = ±75) linear transects. This sampling design gives rise to transects of different lengths, which may bias the estimates of global diversity. To minimize this bias, we cut the tail of the transects to have a length of 555 km equivalent to 5° at the equator. We tested an alternative cut-off threshold, 1,110 km, and the results do not alter the study’s conclusions.We apply Bresenham’s line algorithm59 to detect the grid cells crossed by the transects and annotate their diversity. To integrate regional diversity along the transects, we developed a method to simplify the scenario of peaks and troughs heterogeneously distributed on the 2D diversity maps. The method requires (1) a vector (the transect) of genus richness (αn) at n different locations (grids) arranged in a line (1D) of L grids, and (2) a coefficient of similarity (Vn,n + 1) between each two neighbouring locations, n and n + 1. Vn,n + 1, the coefficient of similarity, follows a decreasing exponential function with distance between locations. The number of shared genera between n and n + 1 is Vn,n + 1 × min(αn; αn + 1). We integrate diversity from peaks to troughs and assume that, along the transect, αn + 1 is lower than αn. We further assume that the genera present in n and n + 2 cannot be absent from n + 1. Using this method, we integrate the transect’s diversity (γi) using the following equation:$${gamma }_{i}={ {mathbf{upalpha}}}_{1}+{sum }_{n=1}^{L-1}left(1-{V}_{n,n+1}right){ {mathbf{upalpha}}}_{n+1}$$
    (7)
    To integrate the diversity of all transects (γi) on each 2D diversity map (or time slice), we apply the same procedure as described above (Extended Data Fig. 1). We first sort the transects in descending order from the highest to the lowest diversity. We then assume that the number of shared genera between transect i and the rest of the transects with greater diversity {1, 2, …, i − 1} is given by the distance of its peak to the nearest neighbour peak (NN(i)) of those already integrated {1, 2, …, i − 1}. Thus, we perform a zigzag integration of transects’ diversities down gradient, from the greatest to the poorest, weighted by the nearest neighbour distance among the peaks already integrated. As a result, the contribution of each transect to global diversity will depend on its diversity and its distance to the closest transect out of all those transects already integrated. Using this method, we linearize the problem to simplify the cumbersome procedure of passing from a 2D regional diversity map to a global diversity estimate without knowing the identity (taxonomic affiliation) of the genera. If γtotal is the global diversity at time t:$${gamma }_{{rm{total}}}={gamma }_{1}+{sum }_{i=2}^{j}left(1-{V}_{{rm{NN}}left(iright),i}right){gamma }_{i}$$
    (8)
    Finally, the resulting global estimates are plotted against the midpoint value of the corresponding time interval to generate a synthetic global diversity curve. To compare the global diversity curves produced by the diversification models with those composed from the fossil record, Lin’s CCC60 is applied to the data normalized to the min–max values of each time series (that is, rescaled within the range 0–1). Lin’s CCC combines measures of both precision and accuracy to determine how far the observed data deviate from the line of perfect concordance (that is, the 1:1 line). Lin’s CCC increases in value as a function of the nearness of the data’s reduced major axis to the line of perfect concordance (the accuracy of the data) and of the tightness of the data around its reduced major axis (the precision of the data).The time series of global diversity generated from the fossil record and from the diversification model exhibit serial correlation and the resulting CCCs are therefore inflated. The use of methods for analysing non-zero autocorrelation time series data, such as first differencing or generalised least squares regression, enables high-frequency variations along the time series to be taken into account. However, the relative simplicity of our model, which was designed to reproduce the main Phanerozoic trends in global diversity, coupled with the fact that biases in the fossil data would introduce uncertainty into the analysis, leads us to focus our analysis on the long-term trends, obviating the effect of autocorrelation.Model parameterization and calibrationThe diversification models are parameterized assuming a range of values that constrain the lower and upper limits of the genus-level net diversification rate (ρmin and ρmax, respectively) (Extended Data Table 1) according to previously reported estimates from fossil records (figures 8 and 11 of ref. 5). A range of realistic values is assigned for the parameters Q10 and Kfood, determining, respectively, the thermal sensitivity and food dependence of the net diversification rate. We test a total of 40 different parameter combinations (Extended Data Table 2). The resulting estimates of diversity are then compared against the fossil diversity curves of ref. 20, ref. 21 or ref. 22, and the 15 parameter combinations providing the highest CCCs are selected.The results of the logistic diversification model rely on the values of the minimum and maximum carrying capacities (Kmin and Kmax, respectively) within which the spatially resolved effective carrying capacities (Keff) are allowed to vary. The values of Kmin and Kmax are therefore calibrated by running 28 simulations of pair-wise Kmin and Kmax combinations increasing in a geometric sequence of base 2, from 2 to 256 genera (Extended Data Fig. 4). We perform these simulations independently for each of the 15 parameter settings selected previously (Extended Data Fig. 4 and Extended Data Table 2). Each combination of Kmin and Kmax produces a global diversity curve, which is evaluated as described above using Lin’s CCC.Calculating estimates of global diversity from regional diversity maps in the absence of information on genus-level taxonomic identities requires that we assume a spatial turnover of taxa with geographical distance (Extended Data Fig. 1). Distance-decay curves are routinely fitted by calculating the ecological similarity (for example, the Jaccard similarity index) between each pair of sampling sites, and fitting an exponential decay function to the points on a scatter plot of similarity (y axis) versus distance (x axis). Following this method, we fit an exponential decay function to the distance–decay curves reported in ref. 61, depicting the decrease in the Jaccard similarity index (J) of fossil genera with geographical distance (great circle distance) at different Phanerozoic time intervals:$$J={J}_{{rm{o}}{rm{f}}{rm{f}}}+(,{J}_{max}text{-}{J}_{{rm{o}}{rm{f}}{rm{f}}}){{rm{e}}}^{-lambda times {rm{d}}{rm{i}}{rm{s}}{rm{t}}{rm{a}}{rm{n}}{rm{c}}{rm{e}}}$$
    (9)
    where Joff = 0.06 (n.d.) is a small offset, Jmax = 1.0 (n.d.) is the maximum value of the genus-based Jaccard similarity index and λ = 0.0024 (km−1) is the distance-decay rate.The Jaccard similarity index (J) between consecutive points n and n + 1 is bounded between 0 and min(αn; αn + 1)/max(αn; αn + 1). A larger value for J would mean that there are more shared genera between the two communities than there are genera within the least diverse community, which is ecologically absurd. However, using a single similarity decay function can lead the computed value of J to be locally larger than min(αn; αn + 1)/max(αn; αn + 1). To prevent this artefact, we use the Simpson similarity index or ‘overlap coefficient’ (V) instead of J. V corresponds to the percentage of shared genera with respect to the least diverse community (min(αn ; αn + 1)). V is bounded between 0 and 1, whatever the ratio of diversities. As the pre-existing estimates of similarity are expressed using J (ref. 61), we perform the conversion from J to V using the algebraic expression V = (1 + R) × J/(1 + J) where R = max(αn; αn + 1)/min(αn; αn + 1) (Supplementary Note 1). In the cases in which J exceeds the min(αn; αn + 1)/max(αn; αn + 1), V becomes >1 and, in those cases, we force V to be More

    The influence and acting pattern of China's national carbon emission trading scheme on regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry

    Benchmark regression resultsParallel trend testThe premise of using DID is that the treatment group and control group meet the assumptions of parallel trend, which means that before ETS is officially implemented, the evolution trend of ecologicalization efficiency of industry of the control group and the experimental group is consistent and does not show a systematic difference. This study uses a more rigorous empirical test in parallel trend test: if the interaction coefficient is not significant and is different from zero before the implementation of ETS; and if the interaction coefficient is significant and is different from zero after the implementation of ETS, it indicates that there is no significant difference in ecologicalization efficiency of industry between the control group and the experimental group before the implementation of ETS. Results are shown in Table 4: before ETS was officially implemented, the difference coefficient was not significant; after the official implementation of ETS in 2013, the difference coefficient was significant and not equal to 0, and the ecologicalization efficiency of industry was improved significantly, which met the parallel trend of the DID. Therefore, it is scientific and reasonable to evaluate the effectiveness of ETS with DID.Table 4 Parallel trend test.Full size tableDynamic effect analysisTo compare the conditions of the experimental group and the control group before and after the implementation of ETS, dynamic graphs are drawn in this study, as shown in Fig. 1, which shows the impact of ETS on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry. The vertical line represents a 95% confidence interval and the broken line shows the marginal effect of regional ecologicalization efficiency, which means that the confidence interval contains is 0 before ETS’s implementation, and the result is not significant. In contrast, after 2013, the effect of ETS became apparent, the marginal effect gradually increased and the results became significant, perhaps owing to the implementation of ETS.Figure 1Dynamic analysis diagram.Full size imageThe effect of ETS on ecologicalization efficiency of industryControlling time effect and fixed effect, this study collected the data of pilot and non-pilot provinces of ETS from 2007 to 2019 to analyze the impact of ETS on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry and regional heterogeneity. The results are shown in Table 5. According to the results in the first column, ETS has significantly promoted the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry, and the national implementation of ETS has achieved remarkable results. Compared with the regions that are not ETS pilot areas, the ecologicalization efficiency of industry of pilot provinces and cities has increased by 35%. Results also show that ETS has different effects on the ecologicalization efficiency of industry in different regions. Specifically, ETS significantly promoted regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry in the eastern and central regions, and the efficiency in the eastern region was more significant than that of the central region. However, the impact of ETS on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry in the western region was negative which may result from the fact that compared to the central and western regions, the east region has better economic development, advanced technology, and lots of talents that can respond to the implementation of ETS, accelerate the upgrade of industries, and improve the utilization level of regional resources. There are many traditional industries in the central and western regions, and the development of scientific and technological levels as well as the resource utilization efficiency there are relatively slow. Besides, it is difficult for the central and western regions to adapt to ETS in a short-term of time leading to the failure of improving the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry in a short time.Table 5 Influence of ETS on ecologicalization efficiency of industry.Full size tableRobustness testPropensity matching score—double difference method (PSM-DID)The assumption of homogeneity and randomness between the control group and the experimental group is the premise of using the DID model. However, due to the large economic and regional differences among provinces and cities, there may be systematic differences between the experimental group and the control group, which may cause deviations in the results. Therefore, the data after propensity score matching is used in this study, making the matched individuals have no other significant differences unless they have been treated or not. The dual difference is conducted again to avoid self-selection bias, and the robustness of the above results is verified according to the measurement results. Control variables were used to match characteristic variables, the experimental group was matched with the control group, and the Logit model was adopted to delete the samples that fail to meet the matching criteria. After the matching, there are 168 observation values. The regression results of PSM-DID model show that, ETS has positive effects on the regional ecologicalization of industry (0.460***), which again proves that the conclusion that ETS improves regional ecologicalization of industry efficiency is reliable. The results are shown in Table 6.Table 6 The result of the PSM-DID.Full size tableCounterfactual testTo verify the robustness of the results again, six provinces and cities are randomly selected as experimental groups for multiple tests to construct new dummy variables of ETS, and the DID model was used again to verify the credibility of the above results. Four random samples were conducted in this study, and the results are shown in Table 7. It can be seen that the results are not significant, which also reversely proves that ETS improves the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry.Table 7 Counterfactual test results.Full size tableActing pattern analysis of ETS on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industryFirst, ETS may improve the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry through industrial structure optimization and upgrading. Promoting upgrading of the industrial structure is one of the important approaches of social and economic development during the 14th Five-Year Plan formulation and is the only way to promote low-carbon and sustainable development of modern national industries. The upgrading of the industrial structure has been promoted to the national strategic level, contributing to the healthy development of the national economy system. ETS bring costs and benefits to enterprises, forcing them to transform and upgrade, increase investment in environmental protection and use clean energy, and accelerate the pace of energy conservation and emission reduction31. Second, ETS may improve the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry through the coordinated agglomeration of resources. Marshall’s theory of scale economy, Krugman’s theory of new economic geography, Weber’s theory of agglomeration economy, Coase’s transaction cost theory, and so on reflect the importance of resource aggregation of economic activities through cost-saving, resource sharing, and other ways to improve industrial input–output efficiency, enhance industrial competitiveness, increase regional comprehensive strength and strengthen the competitive advantage of regional industrial clusters32. The benefits generated by resource aggregation far exceed the sum of benefits generated by various industries in the decentralized state. Under the pressure of ETS, enterprises may alleviate the mismatch between labor and capital through the collaborative aggregation of industrial resources, aiming to improve economic benefits and regional resource allocation efficiency and promote regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry. Third, ETS may improve the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry by supporting ecological optimization. The sustainable development of the ecological environment is closely related to emission reduction policy. To alleviate the bad effects on the ecology, environmental protection is more and more brought to the attention of society and government. Policies for ecological protection have been introduced to reduce pollution20. All regions take effective and targeted measures to control environmental pollution and optimize the investment structure in light of their actual conditions. The purpose of ecological optimization is to improve the regional environment and strengthen pollution control which is one of the important parts of China’s fiscal spending. The government must guide the market to carry out ecological protection and environmental governance according to ETS. Studies have found that a low-carbon pilot policy helps to enhance the level of regional pollution control, promote the harmonious development of regional economy and environment, and then improve the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry.To explore the transmission mechanism of ETS on the regional ecologicalization of industry efficiency, Baron and Kenny (1986)’s mediating effect model was referred to explore and verify whether there exists a structural optimization upgrade effect, resource synergistic agglomeration effect, ecological optimization support effect when ETC promotes regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry. Table 8 shows the regression results of the influence mechanism of ETS on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry. This study refers to the definition and research of industrial optimization and upgrading by Wang Qunwei, Huang Xianglan, and others, and the proportion of tertiary industry added value accounting for industrial added value is selected to measure the effectiveness of industrial optimization and upgrading. For resource synergistic agglomeration effect, this study refers to the calculation methods of Cui Shuhui, Chen Jianjun et al. and adopts the collaborative aggregation index of manufacturing and producer services to measure the collaborative aggregation effect of resources, which effectively avoids the scale difference between different regions. It can be seen from the table that the implementation of ETS has significantly influenced the three effects proposed by this study: the optimization and upgrading effect of industrial structure, the synergistic aggregation effect of resources, and the support effect of ecological optimization. In addition, ETS has a positive and significant impact on the regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry. The results in Columns 3, 5, and 7 of the table show the industrial optimization and upgrading effect, resource synergistic aggregation effect, structural upgrading effect, and resource allocation effect generated in the process of low-carbon pilot policy operation can significantly promote regional ecologicalization efficiency of industry and have an obvious intermediary effect. The mediating effect produced by industrial structure optimization and upgrading is about 0.042, the mediating effect produced by resource synergy agglomeration is about 0.148, and the mediating effect produced by ecological optimization support is about 0.166. According to the Sobal test results, all of them have passed the test, indicating that the above results are reliable.Table 8 Mediating effect test results.Full size table More
