SOIL ORGANISMS – an international open access journal on the taxonomic and functional biodiversity in the soil

Soil Organisms, 2019
Biodiversity change and the identification of the underlying drivers are in the focus of ecological research and public and political debate (IPBES 2019). Soil biodiversity has thus far rarely entered this discussion and analyses (Cameron et al.

Land use and soil characteristics affect soil organisms differently from above-ground assemblages

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Land-use is a major driver of changes in biodiversity worldwide, but studies have overwhelmingly focused on above-ground taxa: the effects on soil biodiversity are less well known, despite the importance of soil organisms in ecosystem ...

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

The threat-work: a network of potential threats to soil biodiversity

Soil Organisms
Soils are estimated to contain more than half of the biodiversity on our planet, encompassing a rich spectrum of genes, organisms and functions that play a crucial role in many ecological processes, such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition,

Unearthing soil ecological observations

Soil Organisms, 2021
In the past, multiple initiatives have been initiated (Maestre & Eisenhauer 2019), but none of those has established itself as a concrete and sustainable global monitoring effort of soils.

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

The spatial level of analysis affects the patterns of forest ecosystem services supply and their relationships [PDF]

, 2018
The implementation of the Ecosystem Services (ES) framework (including supply and demand) should be based on accurate spatial assessments to make it useful for land planning or environmental management.

Soil Biodiversity: Influence of Soil Management Systems

International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2023
Aim: Soil represents one of the most diverse habitats found on our planet. Soil organisms play crucial roles within ecosystems by exerting influence over physical properties and processes, as well as contributing to carbon and energy fluxes and the cycling of nutrients.
