Ever wondered how to capture active vs resident soil fauna? In this paper we show that eRNA (active) and eDNA (resident) metabarcoding provide complementary insights into soil biodiversity-while nitrification inhibitors have limited effects #eDNA #eRNA bit.ly/483u9qY

Environmental RNA and DNA metabarcoding of soil fauna reveal complementary insights into biodiversity and limited effect of nitrification inhibitors

Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly being adopted to describe and assess biodiversity. However, eDNA has limitations since it capture…

Soil tillage promotes predatory and phototrophic protists over parasitic protists

The widespread practice of tillage, which disturbs soil structure and alters its physical and biological properties, may affect protist diversity and …
