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 ...

Russian Journal of Ecology, 2011
It is shown that the soil diversity-biodiversity system in terrestrial ecosystems operates in spatiotemporal unity, which manifests itself at different hierarchical levels of their structural-functional organization: successional-evolutionary, zonal geographic, landscape, biogeocenotic, soil-type, horizon-layer, geochemical, and the levels of ...

Soils Suppressing Biodiversity
2014Soil biodiversity has been shown essential to provide ecosystem services for plant growth that have large economic value. However a number of ecosystem management practices and the effects of pollutants can decrease soil biodiversity and, hence, reduce its role in sustaining plant growth.

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.

Ecosystem Carbon and Soil Biodiversity
2013Soils harbor a great diversity and abundance of soil biota, but because it is mostly invisible to our naked eye we are only just starting to discover it. This is not surprising given the estimated diversity of up to 106 species of bacteria per g of soil.

Assessing soil biodiversity potentials in Europe
Science of The Total Environment, 2017Soil is important as a critical component for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. The largest part of the terrestrial biodiversity relies, directly or indirectly, on soil. Furthermore, soil itself is habitat to a great diversity of organisms. The suitability of soil to host such a diversity is strongly related to its physico-chemical features ...

Interpreting soil ciliate biodiversity
Plant and Soil, 1995The 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 ...

The most abundant multicellular organisms in the soil are fungi (although the group also contains unicellular members – yeasts). Fungi are an extremely diverse group of heterotrophic organisms. Most are saprophytic, playing key roles in decomposition and pedogenesis processes.

Soil Biodiversity and Tree Crops Resilience
2017Promoting resilience in agroecosystems is a promising strategy for sustainable management of tree crops. Belowground biological communities provide several environmental services, including food webs structure stability and biodiversity conservation in aggregates, that contribute to crop production and effectively respond to disturbances caused by ...
