Soil biodiversity for agricultural sustainability

Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2007
We 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.

Degree of urbanization and vegetation type shape soil biodiversity in city parks.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Urbanization negatively impacts aboveground biodiversity, such as bird and insect communities. City parks can reduce these negative impacts by providing important habitat.

Plant biodiversity and the regeneration of soil fertility [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Both plant biodiversity and soil fertility are in decline. We find that restoration of plant biodiversity on a nutrient-poor, unfertilized soil led to greater increases in soil fertility than occurred when these same plant species grew in monocultures.

Faster recovery of soil biodiversity in native species mixture than in Eucalyptus monoculture after 60 years afforestation in tropical degraded coastal terraces

Global Change Biology, 2021
Afforestation is an effective method to restore degraded land. Afforestation methods vary in their effects on ecosystem multifunctionality, but their effects on soil biodiversity have been largely overlooked.

Amazonian deforestation and soil biodiversity

Conservation Biology, 2019
Abstract Clearance and perturbation of Amazonian forests are one of the greatest threats to tropical biodiversity conservation of our times. A better understanding of how soil communities respond to Amazonian deforestation is crucially needed to inform policy interventions that effectively protect biodiversity and the essential ...

Soil as a support of biodiversity and functions.

2014
The soil is a major reservoir of biological diversity on our planet. It also shelters numerous biological and ecological processes and therefore contributes to the production of a considerable number of ecosystem services. Among the ecological, social and economic services identified, the role of soil as a reservoir of diversity has now been well ...

Soil biodiversity and human health

Nature, 2015
Soil biodiversity is increasingly recognized as providing benefits to human health because it can suppress disease-causing soil organisms and provide clean air, water and food. Poor land-management practices and environmental change are, however, affecting belowground communities globally, and the resulting declines in soil biodiversity reduce and ...

Soil and biodiversity

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 ...
