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.

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.

Litter and soil biodiversity jointly drive ecosystem functions

Global Change Biology, 2023
The decomposition of litter and the supply of nutrients into and from the soil are two fundamental processes through which the above‐ and belowground world interact.

How 75 years of rubber monocropping affects soil fauna and nematodes as the bioindicators for soil biodiversity quality index

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
Natural rubber consumption has led to the expansion of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations which affects the deforestation and ecosystem. However, no study of the long-term effect of rubber plantations on soil biodiversity has been carried out yet ...

Blind spots in global soil biodiversity and ecosystem function research. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2020
Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world’s biodiversity, contributing to many crucial ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related to the distribution and functioning of soil organisms to support ...

Foundations for a national assessment of soil biodiversity

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.

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)

Tracking, targeting, and conserving soil biodiversity

Science, 2021
A monitoring and indicator system can inform policy Nature conservation literature and policy instruments mainly focus on the impacts of human development and the benefits of nature conservation for oceans and aboveground terrestrial organisms (e.g ...

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 nitrogen enrichment impacts plant diversity more than soil bacterial and fungal diversity: a meta-analysis [PDF]

Nature Communications
Anthropogenic 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 ...
