Characteristics and evolution of inertinite abundance and atmospheric pO2 during China’s coal-forming periods

Abstract Coal, especially the inertinite in it, is highly sensitive to climate changes, showing an obvious response to paleoclimate conditions, in particular, to paleo-oxygen concentration (pO2). In this study, the inertinite abundance data of typical coal-forming periods in China were systematicall...
