Soil microbial communities are fundamental to maintaining key soil processes associated
with litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and plant productivity and are thus integral to …

This paper describes the technical development and accuracy assessment of the most
recent and improved version of the SoilGrids system at 250m resolution (June 2016 update) …

Background Soil ecosystems consist of complex interactions between biological
communities and physico-chemical variables, all of which contribute to the overall quality of …

Soils perform multiple functions that contribute to human survival and well-being. However,
we often focus on soil to produce food and fiber and unsustainable management has …

Over the last two decades, a considerable effort has been made to decipher the
biogeography of soil microbial communities as a whole, from small to broad scales. In …

Soils play a key role for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Thus, soils are essential for
human society not only because they form the basis for the production of food. This has …

Assessment of soil loss and understanding its major drivers are essential to implement
targeted management interventions. We have proposed and developed a Revised Universal …

Aim The relationship between erosion and biodiversity is reciprocal. Soil organisms can
both reduce soil loss, by improving porosity, and increase it, by diminishing soil stability as a …

Aim Soil microbes are essential for maintenance of life‐supporting ecosystem services, but
projections of how these microbes will be affected by global change scenarios are lacking …

There is a growing body of knowledge on the spatial distribution of soil properties. Fewer
studies have investigated temporal trends in soil properties whereas such information is …
