Can information preserved in old soils be used to predict future environmental change? Using ancient soil DNA to assess terrestrial ecosystem responses to environmental perturbations

This project aims to develop a new and more subtle proxy, soil ancient DNA, for paleo-ecological studies needed when understanding environmental change working beyond our contemporary monitoring programs.
