Microorganisms, 2020 Mangrove forests are one of the important ecosystems in tropical coasts because of their high primary production, which they sustain by sequestering a substantial amount of CO2 into plant biomass.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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 ...

Synergies between conventional soil organic carbon, farm productivity, soil sequestration and soil carbon market risk in Australia [PDF]
, 2009 The investment risk of sequestering carbon as soil organic carbon (SOC) is low when compared to the susceptibility of forestry sequestration projects to disease, bushfires and droughts over a 100-year investment timeframe.

, 2023 Aim: Agroforestry, one of the most ancient agricultural practices of the Mediterranean culture and partly lost due to agricultural intensification, has recently been reintroduced for its positive effects on the SOC sequestration (FAO and ITP 2021).

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.
