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.

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 values for diverse groups without partitioning species that live in soil versus other habitats ...

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

Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas [PDF]
, 2015 Soils provide numerous ecosystem services. Most people do not know that the key drivers of soil ecosystems are the living organisms within the soil. Soils may be home to over one fourth of all living species on Earth, with a significant part not yet ...

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)

Global changes and their environmental stressors have a significant impact on soil biodiversity—A meta-analysis [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Identifying the main threats to soil biodiversity is crucial as soils harbor ∼60% of global biodiversity. Many previous meta-analyses investigating the impact of different global changes (GCs) on biodiversity have omitted soil fauna or are ...

Global nitrogen enrichment impacts plant diversity more than soil bacterial and fungal diversity: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAnthropogenic nitrogen enrichment has significant effects on plant and soil biodiversity across local to global scales, yet how the nitrogen-induced changes in plant diversity differ from those in soil organisms across multiple ecosystems and climatic ...
