Soil Biodiversity and the Environment [PDF]

Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2015
Soils represent a significant reservoir of biological diversity that underpins a broad range of key processes and moderate ecosystem service provision. Our understanding of the role that soil organisms play in ecosystems is still developing, but the increased investigation into biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in soils over the past ...

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

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,

Rainfall Shapes the Diversity of Soil Nitrogen‐Fixing Microorganisms Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the distinctive pattern and mechanism of rainfall driving the global biodiversity and biogeography of soil potential N‐fixing microorganisms, and constructs the theoretical framework. The results guide us on how to maintain ecosystem productivity under future climate changes (e.g., whether a specific region needs more N fertilizers ...

Hyalosphenia papilio paynei subsp. nov. – a highly conspicuous and localized Sphagnum peatland testate amoeba

Acta Protozoologica
Most eukaryotic microbial biodiversity is undescribed, and most species might be morphologically indistinguishable.

Palaeoproteomic Deconvolution of Physical and Genetic Collagen Mixtures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ClassiCOL_v2 uses a novel “peptide patching” framework that treats any collagen sample as a patchwork of peptide sequences derived from phylogenetically related species. This allows the algorithm to simultaneously resolve two previously intractable problems: multi‐species samples and/or database deficiencies.

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 ...

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.
