Impact of two hot and dry summers on the community structure and functional diversity of testate amoebae in an artificial bog, illustrating their use as bioindicators of peatland health [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Ongoing climate warming threatens the survival of bogs at the warm/dry limit of their distribution (e.g. in central Europe), and jeopardises the restoration of damaged bogs even more.

Biodiversity in agricultural used soils: Threats and options for its conservation in Germany and Europe

Soil Organisms, 2021
Agriculture and soil biodiversity are highly interdependent. Agriculture strongly depends on essential ecosystem services of an active and diverse soil life, leading to soil fertility.

Inconsistent Patterns of Soil Fauna Biodiversity and Soil Physicochemical Characteristic Along an Urbanization Gradient

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Urbanization has induced substantial changes in soil physicochemical characteristic, which plays an important role in regulating soil fauna biodiversity in forests and grasslands.

The MetaInvert soil invertebrate genome resource provides insights into below-ground biodiversity and evolution

Communications Biology, 2023
Soil invertebrates are among the least understood metazoans on Earth. Thus far, the lack of taxonomically broad and dense genomic resources has made it hard to thoroughly investigate their evolution and ecology.

Soil biodiversity enhances the persistence of legumes under climate change [PDF]

, 2021
Summary: Global environmental change poses threats to plant and soil biodiversity. Yet, whether soil biodiversity loss can further influence plant community’s response to global change is still poorly understood. We created a gradient of soil
