Global contribution of invertebrates to forest litter decomposition

Published: April 1, 2024

Abstract Forest litter decomposition is an essential component of global carbon and nutrient turnover. Invertebrates play important roles in decomposition, but the regional pattern their effects poorly understood. We examined 476 case studies across 93 sites performed a meta‐analysis to estimate invertebrates on forest decomposition. then assessed how invertebrate diversity, climate soil pH drive variations invertebrate‐mediated found that (1) contributions are 1.4 times higher tropical subtropical forests than elsewhere, with overall contribution 31% decomposition; (2) termite together warm, humid acidic environments tropics subtropics positively associated by invertebrates. Our results demonstrate significant difference mediating among regions. demonstrate, also, significance termites driving mass loss subtropics. These particularly pertinent where change human disturbance threaten biodiversity ecosystem services it provides.

Edaphobase 2.0: Advanced International Data Warehouse for Collating and Using Soil Biodiversity Datasets

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Soil and soil-biodiversity protection are increasingly important issues in environmental science policies, requiring the availability of high-quality empirical data on soil biodiversity. Here we present a publicly available warehouse for domain, Edaphobase 2.0, which provides comprehensive toolset storing re-using international sets, following FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. A major strength is possibility annotating biodiversity with exhaustive geographical, methodological metadata, allowing wide range applications analyses. The system harmonises integrates heterogeneous from diverse sources into standardised formats, can be searched together using numerous filter possibilities, offers exploration analysis tools. features strict transparency policy, quality control, DOIs provided individual sets. database currently contains >450,000 records >35,0000 sites accessed nearly 14,000 times/year. curated by 2.0 greatly aid researchers, conservationists decision makers understanding protecting
