Enumerating soil biodiversity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 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 ...

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.

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.

Towards an integrative understanding of soil biodiversity. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2020 ABSTRACTSoil is one of the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats. Yet, we lack an integrative conceptual framework for understanding the patterns and mechanisms driving soil biodiversity. One of the underlying reasons for our poor understanding of soil biodiversity patterns relates to whether key biodiversity theories (historically developed for ...

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 ...

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)

Soil biodiversity and function under global change. [PDF]
PLoS BiologySoil organisms represent the most abundant and diverse organisms on the planet and support almost every ecosystem function we know, and thus impact our daily lives.

The essence of soil biodiversity
Conservation Letters, 2022 Soil ecologists and conservationists should focus on raising people's awareness of the essence of soil biodiversity: its complex ecological webs and emergent ecosystem services that support aboveground life and human well‐being.

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 ...
