We examined five gene regions (16S, 18S, trnL, ITS, COI) to address the following questions; (1) Does eDNA assessment of soil biodiversity offer a useful proxy for traditionally measured aboveground biodiversity?
Greater attention to short-rotation forestry on agricultural land and on fertile forest soils could offer a way to provide forest industries with enough wood resources and people in the developing world with enough fuel, while conserving natural forests (Christersson, 2005).
