Key Points

This research aims to assess the potential and challenges of using eDNA macro barcoding for monitoring terrestrial vertebrate diversity in China.
Evaluated various sampling media including water, soil, air, and biological samples.
Proposed a comprehensive 'best practice' framework for field sampling and laboratory quality control.
Conducted a systematic review of global literature on eDNA applications.
Identified insufficient reference database coverage as a key bottleneck for local research.
Recommended a standardized monitoring framework that integrates eDNA practices and traditional evidence.
Highlighted gaps between current research practices and high standards for eDNA monitoring.

Evaluates eDNA macro barcoding for monitoring terrestrial vertebrate diversity in China, highlighting opportunities and challenges.
