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 …

Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually
all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and …

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 contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little
is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and …

While the contribution of biodiversity to supporting multiple ecosystem functions is well
established in natural ecosystems, the relationship of the above-and below-ground diversity …

Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in
soils. Yet this relationship has not been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments …

Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However,
compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation …

Soil fungi are a key constituent of global biodiversity and play a pivotal role in
agroecosystems. How arable farming affects soil fungal biogeography and whether it has a …

The microbiome function responses to land use change are important for the long-term
prediction and management of soil ecological functions under human influence. However, it …

Soil biota contribute substantially to multiple ecosystem functions that are key for
geochemical cycles and plant performance. However, soil biodiversity is currently …
