"It has been great for Jacobs to partner with NatureMetrics on this project. Using DNA to characterise soils in such detail has significantly improved our understanding of the woodlands and pasture grassland likely to be affected by the scheme. Soil translocation as part of the overall mitigation strategy for woodland …

"Traditional ecology often capture insufficient data. In contrast, eDNA has facilitated a much better understanding, especially in the case of large deep rivers, allowing for a more comprehensive grasp of the impacts on ecological communities. As a result, appropriate mitigation measures can be implemented."
