  abstract = {{T}he {F}rench programme {R}eseau de {M}esures de la {Q}ualite des {S}ols - {B}iodiversite was carried out at a regional scale ({B}rittany, west part of {F}rance) i) to produce a first statement regarding soil biodiversity, ii) to identify bioindicators of anthropic constraints, and iii) to determine baseline values for several biological groups depending on land uses. {I}n this study, 109 monitoring sites were investigated using a systematic framework (a 16 km x 16 km regular grid). {S}ix biological groups were studied within four major categories, i.e., macrofauna (all soil macro-invertebrate taxa and earthworms), mesofauna ({A}cari and {C}ollembola), microfauna (nematodes), and micro-organisms (microbial biomass and functional genes). {T}he abundances of earthworms, nematodes, {A}cari and the bacterial community (assessed by their encoded 16{S} r{RNA}) as well as microbial biomass and earthworm species richness discriminate land uses (crops from meadows from forests). {M}acro-invertebrate abundance, {C}ollembola abundance and richness, and nematode richness are only relevant for the discrimination of agricultural practices (e.g., management system or fertilisation intensity). {M}ost of the soil biological groups (except {C}ollembola) exhibit lower values of abundance and community richness in croplands than in meadows. {T}his programme allows us to set up a first reference database for soil biological data for {F}rance covering microflora and fauna. {T}his substantial reference database will be used to calibrate future research results and to develop management baseline values for stakeholders to assess the status of soil biodiversity under several policies, e.g., the {C}ommon {A}gricultural {P}olicy, {S}oil {F}ramework {D}irective, {EU} and national biodiversity strategies, and policies related to contaminated land management. {T}herefore it should assist stakeholders in the choice of good agricultural practices.},
