Assessing the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding for measuring microbial biodiversity within forest ecosystems

Assessing the efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding for measuring microbial biodiversity within forest ecosystems

Abstract We investigated the nascent application and efficacy of sampling and sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) in terrestrial environments using rainwater that filters through the forest canopy and understory vegetation (i.e., throughfall). We demonstrate the utility and potential of this method...
