1. 1. Systematic comparison of the relative accuracy of vegetation surveys and soil DNA metabarcoding : Assessing plant biodiversity at different spatial scales

   Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Kimmo Kumpula; [2020]
   Nyckelord :DNA metabarcoding; biodiversity assessment; environmental DNA; high-throughput sequencing; subarctic;

   Sammanfattning : Analysis of soil-derived DNA has been shown to minimize problems seen during traditional vegetation surveys, e.g. by matching the eDNA to a reference database for taxonomic identification rather than relying solely on taxonomic expertise. However, it has been debated to what extent and how accurately eDNA acts as a proxy for biodiversity. LÄS MER

3. 2. Ancient DNA in paleosols, SW Greenland : A tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies?

   Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Författare :Kimmo Kumpula; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Ancient DNA; paleosol; paleoenvironment; Greenland; Arctic;

   Sammanfattning : Ancient DNA (aDNA) is a useful tool for retrospective paleoenvironmental studies. Paleosols formed in Arctic environments constitute a potential archive of aDNA from terrestrial organisms living in past environments, given that the cold and dry climate prevailing at high latitudes favors DNA preservation and hamper post-depositional mobility of deposited fragments.
