Plant DNA metabarcoding of lake sediments: How does it represent the contemporary vegetation
Metabarcoding of lake sediments have been shown to reveal current and past biodiversity,
but little is known about the degree to which taxa growing in the vegetation are represented …

High resolution ancient sedimentary DNA shows that alpine plant diversity is associated with human land use and climate change
Abstract The European Alps are highly rich in species, but their future may be threatened by
ongoing changes in human land use and climate. Here, we reconstructed vegetation …
