Identifying potential threats to soil biodiversity [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
A decline in soil biodiversity is generally considered to be the reduction of forms of life living in soils, both in terms of quantity and variety.

Vegetation structure determines the spatial variability of soil biodiversity across biomes [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
The factors controlling the spatial variability of soil biodiversity remain largely undetermined. We conducted a global field survey to evaluate how and why the within-site spatial variability of soil biodiversity (i.e. richness and community composition)

Enumerating soil biodiversity. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
Soil is an immense habitat for diverse organisms across the tree of life, but just how many organisms live in soil is surprisingly unknown. Previous efforts to enumerate soil biodiversity consider only certain types of organisms (e.g., animals) or report

Geologically younger ecosystems are more dependent on soil biodiversity for supporting function [PDF]

Nature Communications
Soil biodiversity contains the metabolic toolbox supporting organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in the soil. However, as soil develops over millions of years, the buildup of plant cover, soil carbon and microbial biomass may relax the ...

Towards an integrative understanding of soil biodiversity. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2020
Soil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity.

Foundations for a national assessment of soil biodiversity [PDF]

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Soils, just like all other ecosystem compartments, change over time and, consequently, conditions for soil‐inhabiting organisms are also changing, affecting their composition and diversity.

Frontiers in soil ecology—Insights from the World Biodiversity Forum 2022 [PDF]

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2022
Global change is affecting soil biodiversity and functioning across all terrestrial ecosystems. Still, much is unknown about how soil biodiversity and function will change in the future in response to simultaneous alterations in climate and land use, as ...

Mapping Soil Biodiversity in Europe and the Netherlands [PDF]

Soil Systems, 2019
Soil is fundamental for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, but our knowledge about soil organisms and the habitat they provide (shortly: Soil biodiversity) is poorly developed.

Towards a global platform for linking soil biodiversity data [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Soil biodiversity is immense, with an estimated 10-100 million organisms belonging to over 5000 taxa in a handful of soil. In spite of the importance of soil biodiversity for ecosystem functions and services, information on soil species, from taxonomy to

Land use and soil characteristics affect soil organisms differently from above-ground assemblages [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Land-use is a major driver of changes in biodiversity worldwide, but studies have overwhelmingly focused on above-ground taxa: the effects on soil biodiversity are less well known, despite the importance of soil organisms in ecosystem ...
