Nutrient-induced acidification modulates soil biodiversity-function relationships. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun
Nutrient enrichment is a major global change component that often disrupts the relationship between aboveground biodiversity and ecosystem functions by promoting species dominance, altering trophic interactions, and reducing ecosystem stability. Emerging

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

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Soils provide numerous ecosystem services. Most people do not know that the key drivers of soil ecosystems are the living organisms within the soil. Soils may be home to over one fourth of all living species on Earth, with a significant part not yet ...

Global changes and their environmental stressors have a significant impact on soil biodiversity—A meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Identifying the main threats to soil biodiversity is crucial as soils harbor ∼60% of global biodiversity. Many previous meta-analyses investigating the impact of different global changes (GCs) on biodiversity have omitted soil fauna or are ...
