Global data on earthworm abundance, biomass, diversity and corresponding environmental properties
Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ec…

La vie dans les sols : du découpage taxonomique à l’intégration écologique
Prod 2018-76b équipe EA SPE BIOME INRA AGROSUP; National audience; Les sols sont des milieux où évolue une myriade d’organismes différents, déterminant une série de fonctions, qui se traduisent en services écosystémiques essentiels pour l’humanité. Mieux connaitre ces organismes, leur biodiversité, leurs interactions, ainsi que celles avec l’environnement, représente donc un enjeu majeur. L’écologie des sols plonge ses racines dans l’histoire naturelle. Cette vision écologique appliquée aux sols a la particularité d’intégrer au moins partiellement les apports des sciences du sol (physique, chimie, biochimie). Par le renouvellement des méthodes d’observations et d’analyses (notamment molécul…
Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas
SPE EA Pôle BIOME The Atlas is divided in 8 chapters covering all the aspects of soil biodiversity: - Chapter I: The soil habitat - Chapter II: Diversity of soil organisms - Chapter III: Geographical and temporal distribution - Chapter IV: Ecosystem functions and services - Chapter V: Threats - Chapter VI: Interventions - Chapter VII: Policy, education and outreach - Chapter VIII: Conclusions Soil biodiversity experts from all over the world are involved in the project aiming at the creation of a reference publication not only for soil biodiversity researchers but also policy makers and general public.; International audience; The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) and the Joint Res…

Comment on “Global distribution of earthworm diversity”
Phillips et al . (Reports, 25 October 2019, p. 480) incorrectly conclude that tropical earthworm communities are less diverse and abundant than temperate communities. This result is an artifact generated by some low-quality datasets, lower sampling intensity in the tropics, different patterns in richness-area relationships, the occurrence of invasive species in managed soils, and a focus on local rather than regional richness.
