We demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding has the potential to rapidly quantify the benefits of agricultural conservation to terrestrial wildlife across taxa. Notably, we found that riparian buffers along streams in the Midwestern United States return an increase of one taxon for every 10% increase in forest cover, an important potential benefit of this ...

Borealisation of Plant Communities in the Arctic Is Driven by Boreal‐Tundra Species
We found limited borealisation rates across the tundra biome. However, borealisation was greater in Eurasia, closer to the treeline, at higher elevations, in warmer and wetter regions, where climate change was limited and where initial boreal abundance was lower. Boreal species colonised tundra plots less often than Boreal‐Tundra species.
