  • Integrating pH into the metabolic theory of ecology to predict bacterial diversity in soil

    Soil biodiversity is extremely complex and diverse .The research team developed a mathematical model to test whether the incorporation of pH could improve the capacity to explain the variation in bacterial diversity at different spatial scales in soil .At the community level , they modeled pa... Soil biodiversity is extremely complex and diverse, with millions of species and billions of individual organisms being found within a handful of soil. Disentangling the main mechanisms determining the biogeographical patterns of bacterial diversity has remained a considerable challenge (Bah...

  • Soil biodiversity supports the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions in urban greenspaces

    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 with ecosystem multifunctionality remains virtually unknown in urban greenspaces.Fig. The distribution of soil sampling locations in urban greenspaces.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 with ecosystem multifunctionality remain...
