An eDNA Survey of Plant Biodiversity in a Local Dam Within South Africa's Largest City
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Ecological information is needed to establish, implement and monitor such biodiversity management plans. This study employs environmental DNA to provide a good overview of plant community structure in an urban dam in Johannesburg, South Africa. It further reveals a gap in the taxonomic coverage of South African plants on public DNA databases.
