Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-60396-y, published online 2 July 2025 In the version of the article initially published, there was an error in Fig. 1 where the range of time periods shown in the image header, now reading “251.9 ma – 246.7 ma” from left to right, were reversed in order. Additionally, in the “Reconstructing plant productivity” section, four instances of “Pt C/yr” have been amended to “Pg C/yr”.

Abstract The Permian–Triassic Mass Extinction (PTME), the most severe crisis of the Phanerozoic, has been attributed to intense global warming triggered by Siberian Traps volcanism. However, it remains unclear why super-greenhouse conditions persisted for around five million years after the volcanic episode, with one possibility being that the slow recovery of plants limited carbon sequestration.

Graphical Abstract Gaudichaudione H The cover image depicts the tale of Sun Simiao, revered as the Chinese King of Medicine, who heals a tiger and a dragon through distinct methods. In article number 2411131, Pengfei Liu, Yetong Feng, Dongmei Ren, and colleagues identify Gaudichaudione H, a natural small molecule from Garcinia oligantha Merr., as an effective NRF2 activator. NRF2 functions as a transcription factor that protects cells from toxic and oxidative stress.
