Alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau are being threatened by ongoing climate
warming and intensified human activities. Ecological time-series obtained from sedimentary …

Understanding the response of long-term aquatic environmental changes in lakes to
ongoing climate change and human activities is key to forecasting future lake conditions. In …

Glacier and permafrost shrinkage and land-use intensification threaten mountain wildlife
and affect nature conservation strategies. Here, we present paleometagenomic records of …

Using pollen analysis and metabarcoding of plant sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNa), we
infer the floristic diversity in the vicinity of Lake Balyktukel, Ulagan Plateau, the Altai …

Only a few palaeo-records extend beyond the Holocene in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, since
most of the lakes in the region are of Holocene thermokarst origin. Thus, we have a poor …

Benefiting from the rapid development of environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies,
sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) emerges as a promising tool for monitoring plant compositions …

Studying past ecosystems from ancient environmental DNA preserved in lake sediments
(sed aDNA) is a rapidly expanding field. This research has mainly involved Holocene …

Underwater sediments are a natural archive of biological information. Reconstruction of past
fauna has been conducted for various taxonomic groups using morphological remains and …

Southeast Asia (SEA) has experienced significant deforestation and increasing
encroachment on its forests over time. This ongoing environmental issue arises from the …

Human-induced transitions in vegetation community and plant diversity have shown far-
reaching ecological and socioeconomic consequences worldwide during the Anthropocene …
