Soil biodiversity, biological indicators and soil ecosystem services - an overview of European approaches
max 200 words) Soil biota are essential for many soil processes and functions, yet there is an increasing pressure on soil biodiversity and soil degradation remains a pertinent issue. Therefore, the sustainable management of soils requires soil monitoring, including biological indicators able to relate land use and management to soil functioning and ecosystem services. Since the 1990’s, biologi...
متن کاملSoil water balance and ecosystem response to climate change.
Some essential features of the terrestrial hydrologic cycle and ecosystem response are singled out by confronting empirical observations of the soil water balance of different ecosystems with the results of a stochastic model of soil moisture dynamics. The simplified framework analytically describes how hydroclimatic variability (especially the frequency and amount of rainfall events) concurs w...
متن کاملSoil food web properties explain ecosystem services across European land use systems.
Intensive land use reduces the diversity and abundance of many soil biota, with consequences for the processes that they govern and the ecosystem services that these processes underpin. Relationships between soil biota and ecosystem processes have mostly been found in laboratory experiments and rarely are found in the field. Here, we quantified, across four countries of contrasting climatic and...
متن کاملApplying Soil Ecological Knowledge to Restore Ecosystem Services
Ecosystem degradation resulting from resource extraction, land-use change, and invasion by exotic species alters numerous functions and services provided by intact and unexploited ecosystems. Ecological restoration is the human-facilitated improvement of a degraded ecosystem and represents an important means to repair or reinstate many natural services in degraded ecosystems ( Table 5.6.1 ). Re...
متن کاملSoil biodiversity and soil community composition determine ecosystem multifunctionality.
Biodiversity loss has become a global concern as evidence accumulates that it will negatively affect ecosystem services on which society depends. So far, most studies have focused on the ecological consequences of above-ground biodiversity loss; yet a large part of Earth's biodiversity is literally hidden below ground. Whether reductions of biodiversity in soil communities below ground have con...
