Collective training How to monitor Soil Biodiversity
==__==__==__ ==__==__==__ ==__==__==__
Soil is one of the most diverse environment of earth (~25% of global biodiversity in terms of species), but also one of the least known concerning its biodiversity (less than ~ 10% of described species). From a functional point of view, soil organisms (including plants) provide crucial ecosystems functions that supply important ecosystem services. For instance, decomposers are responsible for chemical transformations of organic matter and nutrient cycling and macro-invertebrates (earthworms and arthropods) are able to alter, physically and permanently, the environment of others species. Bioturbation activities of earthworms have a major impact on the spatial structure of the soil, the incorporation of organic matter in the soil and microbial activity.Any changes in soil biodiversity, as induced by land use changes, may impact the whole functioning of the ecosystem,and in particular, its productivity, which is a central ecosystem service.
