DNA metabarcoding uncovers fungal diversity in soils of protected and non-protected areas on Deception Island, Antarctica
Abstract We assessed soil fungal diversity at two sites on Deception Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica using DNA metabarcoding analysis. The first site was a relatively undisturbed area, and the second was much more heavily impacted by research and tourism. We detected 346 fungal amplicon s...
