Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas

AGRICOLTURA

Living soils are the basic interface supporting food production, clean air, clean water, and better human health.

The immense biodiversity contained in soil is crucial to ecosystem functions, such as the storage of carbon, nutrient cycling, and regulation of pests. Around the world, these important organisms are being lost as soils are degraded from development and unsustainable usage. Despite increased scientific interest in below-ground biodiversity, the scientific community lacks a comprehensive, global-scale understanding of soil biodiversity and its functions, including predictions of how it will respond to global change. (...)
The Atlas offers amazing photos, maps, charts, statistics, and shared information that scientists, educators, policy makers, and non-specialists alike can use as a toolkit for knowing and understanding soil biodiversity globally. (...)
