Recovery of species after the "dinosaur-killing asteroid"

"A team of scientists have revealed that after the devastation caused by a mass extinction event on Earth 66 million years ago, the plankton at the base of the ocean ecosystem were disrupted for nearly two million years. It then took a further eight million years for global species numbers to fully recover." - Excerpt from University of Southampton
