Abstract Biodiversity is widely linked to human health, however, connections between health and soil biodiversity in urban environments remain poorly understood. Here, we stress that reductions elevate risks but can improve through pathways including suppressing pathogens, remediating soil, shaping a beneficial microbiome promoting immune fitness. We argue targeted enhancement of could support both outdoor indoor settings. The potential enhanced benefit reflects an important yet understudied field fundamental applied research.
