A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
A single marker revealed a considerable diversity of organisms associate with Dryas octopetala. The rhizosphere contains more taxa than the phyllosphere. Some taxa are cited for the first time in the Svalbard Archipelago. The use of different DNA marker will increase diversity data in the Svalbard Archipelago.
