First Plant sedaDNA assemblage from California reveals ecological stability throughout 10,000 years of human presence at Lake Elsinore

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

As we face the sixth mass extinction, understanding how ecosystems have persisted—or collapsed—through millennia of changing climates and human activity is critical for preventing biodiversity loss. We bolstered the past 24,000 years of plant and mammal records using targeted capture of ancient sedimentary DNA (sedaDNA) from Southern California’s Lake Elsinore, a cultural center for the Payómkawichum (Luiseño), Ca...
