Global mismatches in aboveground and belowground biodiversity [PDF]
Human activities are accelerating global biodiversity change and have resulted in severely threatened ecosystem services. A large proportion of terrestrial biodiversity is harbored by soil, but soil biodiversity has been omitted from many global ...

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

The effects of global change on soil faunal communities: a meta-analytic approach [PDF]
Human impacts are causing an unprecedented change of biodiversity across scales. To quantify the nature and degree of the biodiversity change, there have been a number of meta-analysis studies investigating the effects of global change drivers (land use,

Effects of forest fire severity on terrestrial carbon emission and ecosystem production in the Himalayan region, India [PDF]
Remote sensing techniques have been used effectively for measuring the overall loss of terrestrial ecosystem production and biodiversity due to the forest fire. The current research focuses on assessing the impact of forest fire severity on terrestrial ecosystem productivity using different burn indices in Uttarakhand, India.

Soil biodiversity enhances the persistence of legumes under climate change.
Global environmental change poses threats to plant and soil biodiversity. Yet, whether soil biodiversity loss can further influence plant community's response to global change is still poorly understood.
