Assessing the response of micro-eukaryotic diversity to the Great Acceleration using lake sedimentary DNA
Sedimentary DNA can be used to infer how organisms responded to changing environmental conditions over millennia. Here, the authors use sedimentary DNA of micro-eukaryotes in low-elevation (human-impacted) and high-elevation (more pristine) lakes to show how human influences have altered lake commun...
