As the most abundant animals on earth, nematodes are a dominant component of the soil
community. They play critical roles in regulating biogeochemical cycles and vegetation
dynamics within and across landscapes and are an indicator of soil biological activity. Here,
we present a comprehensive global dataset of soil nematode abundance and functional
group composition. This dataset includes 6,825 georeferenced soil samples from all
continents and biomes. For geospatial mapping purposes these samples are aggregated …
