Motivation and aim Soil biodiversity is central to ecosystem function and services. It
represents most of terrestrial biodiversity and at least a quarter of all biodiversity on Earth …

The recent past has seen a tremendous surge in soil macroecological studies and new
insights into the global drivers of one‐quarter of the biodiversity of the Earth. Building on …

Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world's biodiversity, contributing to many crucial
ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related …

Soils host the vast majority of life on Earth including microorganisms and animals, and
supporting all terrestrial vegetation. While soil organisms are pivotal for ecosystem …

Microbes dominate the planet's biodiversity in terms of species number and by driving
essential Earth system functions such as the carbon cycle. Soils contain most of this …

Soil fungi, protists, and animals (ie, the eukaryome) play a critical role in key ecosystem
functions in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, we lack a holistic understanding of the processes …

Understanding global biodiversity change, its drivers, and the ecosystem consequences
requires a better appreciation of both the factors that shape soil macrofauna communities …

Aim Organisms on our planet form spatially congruent and functionally distinct communities,
which at large geographical scales are called “biomes”. Understanding their pattern and …

The role of soil biodiversity in regulating multiple ecosystem functions is poorly understood,
limiting our ability to predict how soil biodiversity loss might affect human wellbeing and …

Aim Microbial diversity is one of the most important factors for maintaining the performance
of multiple functions in soils (multifunctionality). However, existing studies typically consider …
