Mutualism and biodiversity in soils
Plant and Soil, 1995Most soil invertebrates and roots have developed strong interactions with micro-organisms to exploit the organic and mineral resources of soil. Micro-fauna are mainly predators of microorganisms whereas larger organisms interact with micro-organisms through the “external rumen” or facultative endosymbiotic digestive systems.

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.

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.

Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
Global Food Security, 2019Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil biodiversity (SBD) and such ...

Soil Fertility and Biodiversity in Organic Farming
Science, 2002An understanding of agroecosystems is key to determining effective farming systems. Here we report results from a 21-year study of agronomic and ecological performance of biodynamic, bioorganic, and conventional farming systems in Central Europe. We found crop yields to be 20% lower in the organic systems, although input of fertilizer and energy was ...
