Life and death in the soil microbiome: how ecological processes influence biogeochemistry

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss how the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter depends on both living and dead soil microorganisms, their functional traits, and their interactions with the soil matrix and other organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feeding habits and multifunctional classification of soil‐associated consumers from protists to vertebrates

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the feeding habits of consumers in soil, including protists, micro-, meso- and macrofauna (invertebrates), and soil-associated vertebrates is provided, and an overarching classification across taxa focusing on key universal traits such as food resource preferences, body masses, microhabitat specialisation, protection and hunting mechanisms is compiled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting responses of above- and belowground diversity to multiple components of land-use intensity

Gaëtane Le Provost, +62 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of local and landscape-level land use on more than 4,000 above- and belowground taxa, spanning 20 trophic groups, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylotype diversity within soil fungal functional groups drives ecosystem stability

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors combined three independent global field surveys of soil fungi with a satellite-derived temporal assessment of plant productivity, and report that phylotype richness within particular fungal functional groups drives the stability of terrestrial ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The plant microbiota: composition, functions, and engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the identity of the main factors driving plant microbiota structure, diversity, and function in bulk soil, in the rhizosphere, and in the plant organs was identified.

Belowground biodiversity and ecosystem functioning

TL;DR: Recent progress in understanding belowground biodiversity and its role in determining the ecological and evolutionary responses of terrestrial ecosystems to current and future environmental change are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global tree restoration potential.

TL;DR: There is room for an extra 0.9 billion hectares of canopy cover, which could store 205 gigatonnes of carbon in areas that would naturally support woodlands and forests, which highlights global tree restoration as one of the most effective carbon drawdown solutions to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of multiple global change factors in driving soil functions and microbial biodiversity.

TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that increasing the number of simultaneous global change factors caused increasing directional changes in soil properties, soil processes, and microbial communities, though there was greater uncertainty in predicting the magnitude of change.
Journal ArticleDOI

The concept and future prospects of soil health.

TL;DR: Soil health is the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals and humans, and connects agricultural and soil science to policy, stakeholder needs and sustainable supply-chain management as discussed by the authors.
