Alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau are being threatened by ongoing climate warming and intensified human activities. Ecological time-series obtained from sedimentary …
Arctic and alpine aquatic ecosystems are changing rapidly under recent global warming, threatening water resources by diminishing trophic status and changing biotic composition …
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 …
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has recently transformed and modernized biodiversity monitoring. The accurate detection, and to some extent quantification, of organisms …
Little is currently known about preservation of plant DNA in lake sediments. Most prior information originates from laboratory experiments while systematic field‐based studies are …
High mountain environments are among the most fragile on Earth. Due to anthropogenic disturbances and the exposure to extreme weather events, the rates of soil erosion have …
Plant DNA from sediments (sedDNA) are increasingly used to reconstruct the past vegetation composition, which contrasts with the few investigations on the relationship …
To reconstruct past vegetation from pollen or, more recently, lake sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) data is a common goal in palaeoecology. To overcome the bias of a researcher's …
Climate seasonality critically influences the functioning and dynamics of ecosystems in continental areas. The ecological importance of winter temperatures on high-latitude …
