Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]

, 2013
The upper few millimeters of soil harbour photosynthetic microbial communities that are structurally distinct from those of underlying bulk soil due to the presence of light. Previous studies in arid zones have demonstrated functional importance of these

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

Decision support for the identification of testate amoebae in microscopy images to detect peat presence in horticultural substrates

Environmental Data Science
Peat is formed by the accumulation of organic material in water-saturated soils. Drainage of peatlands and peat extraction contribute to carbon emissions and biodiversity loss.
