Soil biodiversity for agricultural sustainability
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2007We critically highlight some evidence for the importance of soil biodiversity to sustaining (agro-)ecosystem functioning and explore directions for future research. We first deal with resistance and resilience against abiotic disturbance and stress.

Linking soil biodiversity and agricultural soil management
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2012Soil biodiversity vastly exceeds aboveground biodiversity, and is prerequisite for ecosystem stability and services. This review presents recent findings in soil biodiversity research focused on interrelations with agricultural soil management. Richness and community structure of soil biota depend on plant biodiversity and vice versa. Soil biota govern

One of the most striking things about soil is that it harbours a remarkable diversity of life. A handful of soil from any well-kept garden, forest, or agricultural field, can contain literally billions of individual organisms and thousands of species.

Soils are complex systems. Soil organisms and mineral components interact to generate high diversity and complexity, feeding back to biodiversity through habitat provision. Vascular plants link the aboveground and belowground components of ecosystems by litter inputs, root exudates, and influence soil chemistry and structure.

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1992
Nematodes are the most abundant metazoans in soil, and are exceeded in species diversity only by the arthropods. Estimates of nematode diversity in natural and agroecosystems have been based on both species-level taxonomy and trophic-level guilds. Because trophic groups do not act in a unitary manner with respect to environmental alterations, species ...

On the value of soil biodiversity and ecosystem services
Ecosystem Services, 2015This paper provides a framework to understand the source of the economic value of soil biodiversity and soil ecosystem services and maps out the pathways of such values. We clarify the link between components of the economic value of soil biodiversity and their associated services of particular relevance to soils.

Interpreting soil ciliate biodiversity [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 1995 The results of soil ciliate frequency studies of 47 field studies, from 12 ecosystem types, were combined with recent concepts and observations to assess the importance of soil ciliate biodiversity in ecosystem functioning. A few species typically furnish most of the individuals; increases in biodiversity, produced by less common species, alters soil ...
