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.

Sounds of Soil: A New World of Interactions under Our Feet? [PDF]

, 2019
Soils are biodiversity-dense and constantly carry chemical flows of information, with our mental image of soil being dark and quiet. But what if soil biota tap sound, or more generally, vibrations as a source of information?

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 ...

Changes in plant biodiversity facets of rocky outcrops and their surrounding rangelands across precipitation and soil gradients

Scientific Reports, 2022
Climate and soil factors induce substantial controls over plant biodiversity in stressful ecosystems. Despite of some studies on plant biodiversity in extreme ecosystems including rocky outcrops, simultaneous effects of climate and soil factors have ...

Managing Soil Quality: Challenges in Modern Agriculture [PDF]

, 2004
Soil quality is a concept that allows soil functions to be related to specific purposes. Previous books on soil quality have emphasized descriptive aspects, by focusing on e.g. soil quality indicators, indexing, and minimum data sets.

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

Niche Differentiation of Active Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria in Estuarine Mangrove Forest Soils in Taiwan

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.

Mapping and validating predictions of soil bacterial biodiversity using European and national scale datasets [PDF]

, 2015
Recent research has highlighted strong correlations between soil edaphic parameters and bacterial biodiversity. Here we seek to explore these relationships across the European Union member states with respect to mapping bacterial biodiversity at the ...

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.
