Plant disease outbreaks pose significant risks to global food security and environmental
sustainability worldwide, and result in the loss of primary productivity and biodiversity that …

The concept of one health highlights that human health is not isolated but connected to the
health of animals, plants and environments. In this Review, we demonstrate that soils are a …

Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. Living soil
microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Relationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem
multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been …

Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

Soil fungi are fundamental to plant productivity, yet their influence on the temporal stability of
global terrestrial ecosystems, and their capacity to buffer plant productivity against extreme …

Soils are the foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems. However, unlike for plants and animals,
a global assessment of hotspots for soil nature conservation is still lacking. This hampers our …

Soil-borne pathogens pose a major threat to food production worldwide, particularly under
global change and with growing populations. Yet, we still know very little about how the soil …
