TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected, harmonized, collated, modelled, and depicted on a soil biodiversity map using multiple regressions relating relatively low density earthworm community data to soil characteristics, land use, vegetation and climate factors with a greater spatial resolution.

TL;DR: All the indicators were able to differentiate between the sites but, as no single indicator was sensitive to all the differences in land use intensity, it is suggested that an indicator programme should be based upon a suite of different indicators.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, a reduction of “red-like” cbbL genes copies was observed in bulk soil and rhizosphere samples from the sites with the highest CO2 concentrations, which indicates that only a part of the autotrophic CO2-fixing microbes could adapt to the very highCO2 concentrations and adverse life conditions that are governed by mofette gaseous regime.

TL;DR: The results highlighted the influential role of soil exchangeable acidity, which should therefore be considered in pesticide risk assessments and management to limit efficiently the environmental transfers of glyphosate.

TL;DR: Compost amendments significantly change abundance and diversity pattern of alkB harboring microbes in Technosol and might be a useful agent to stimulate bioremediation of hydrocarbons in contaminated soils.
