Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among most abundant soil arthropods regulating fertility flow energy through above- belowground food webs. However, global distribution springtail diversity density, how these relate to fluxes remains unknown. Here, using a dataset representing 2470 sites, we estimate total biomass at 27.5 megatons carbon, which is threefold higher than wild vertebrates, record peak densities up 2...
Abstract Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, mitigate bees' responses these human impacts. The available data are, however, geographically taxonomically unrepresentative; most from North America Western Europe, overrepresenting bumblebees raising concerns that model results may not be generalizable other regions taxa. To assess whether the geographic taxonomic...
Abstract Aim Macroinvertebrates comprise a highly diverse set of taxa with great potential as indicators soil quality. Communities were sampled at 3,694 sites distributed world‐wide. We aimed to analyse the patterns abundance, composition and network characteristics their relationships latitude, mean annual temperature rainfall, land cover, texture agricultural practices. Location Sites are in 41 countries, ranging from 55° S 57° N 0 4,000 m elevation, rainfall 500 >3,000 mm temperatures...
Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences 44,999 samples 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at species level collected predominantly private archives authors were quality-controlled taxonomically-standardised. Despite covering continents, most come European...
