Towards a global platform for linking soil biodiversity data

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Soil biodiversity is immense, with an estimated 10-100 million organisms belonging to over 5000 taxa in a handful of soil. In spite of the importance of soil biodiversity for ecosystem functions and services, information on soil species, from taxonomy to
