Tibetan terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems collapsed with cryosphere loss inferred from sedimentary ancient metagenomics

S. Liu, K. Stoof-Leichsenring, L. Harms, L. Schulte, S. Mischke, S. Kruse, C. Zhang, U. Herzschuh

This paper uses ancient metagenomics and network analysis to show that cryosphere loss over 18,000 years drove ecosystem shifts in the Tibetan Plateau, refuting top-down herbivore control and highlighting keystone plant species.

Phaeocystis blooms caused carbon drawdown during the Antarctic Cold Reversal from sedimentary ancient DNA

J. F. Weiss, U. Herzschuh, J. Mueller, J. Liang, M.-E. Vorrath, A. Perfumo, K. R. Stoof-Leichsenring

This study uses ancient DNA analysis to show that Phaeocystis blooms contributed to carbon drawdown during the Antarctic Cold Reversal, linking sea-ice changes to productivity shifts.

Fungal biodiversity in Arctic paleoecosystems assessed by metabarcoding of lake sedimentary ancient DNA

P. A. Seeber, B. von Hippel, H. Kauserud, U. Loeber, K. Stoof-Leichsenring, U. Herzschuh, L. Epp

The paper assesses fungal biodiversity in Arctic paleoecosystems using metabarcoding of ancient lake sedimentary DNA, finding terrestrial soil fungi dominate and no significant storage bias.
