Abstract
- The article cities a research study that reconstructs 600 years of ecosystem dynamics on a sub-Antarctic island to determine how long do ecosystems require to reach a new equilibrium and also identifies the impact of invasive rabbits. It used environmental DNA extracted from a lake sediment core, coprophilous fungi and sedimentological analysis for the study.
