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.

The paper uses a model to simulate treeline migration in Siberian tundra under climate change, showing a time lag in tundra loss and the need for mitigation to preserve tundra areas.

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding to analyze long-term fungus-plant co-variation in Siberian lakes over 47,000 years, showing climate-driven shifts in fungal and plant communities.

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.

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to analyze plant diversity changes over 28,000 years in Far East Russia, revealing different assembly rules in cold and warm climates.

This study uses hybridization capture on sedimentary ancient DNA to reconstruct past larch population dynamics in Siberia, revealing an ancient invasion of Larix gmelinii into the range of Larix sibirica.
