  abstract = {{W}hat is soil biodiversity ? {H}ow does it vary in space and time ? {W}hat does it provide to society ? {W}hat are the main threats to soil biodiversity ? {W}hat can we do to preserve it ? {T}he first ever {G}lobal {S}oil {B}iodiversity {A}tlas uses informative texts, stunning photographs and striking maps to answer and explain these and other questions. {G}oing through its nine chapters, every reader will learn what soils are and about the amazing creatures living in them. {Y}ou will discover the factors influencing the distribution of soil organisms, how soil biodiversity supports food production, the pressures affecting soil life and the possible interventions to preserve it. {T}he {G}lobal {S}oil {B}iodiversity {A}tlas is an essential reference to understand and appreciate the incredible world living under our feet. {S}oil is an extremely complex system resulting from the essential interactions between inert and living components. {S}oils host a myriad of soil organisms ranging in size from a few micrometres to several centimetres, from the microscopic bacteria and archaea to the "giant" earthworms and moles. {A}ll these organisms are distributed over space and time, and each ecosystem and season has its unique soil community. {S}oil organisms interact to provide essential ecosystem services to human beings and the environment, ranging from supporting plant growth to the regulation of climate. {S}oils are increasingly under pressure and so are the organisms living in them. {I}ntensive agriculture, loss of above ground biodiversity, soil erosion and land degradation are among the most relevant threats to soil life. {W}e can protect soil creatures by taking specific actions. {N}o-tillage, diversification of crops, increasing reforestation and greater use of natural amendments are examples of interventions that may promote life in soils. {P}eople need to know about the fascinating world below ground and understand its value. {T}he {G}lobal {S}oil {B}iodiversity {A}tlas presents the often neglected protagonists in the environment that surrounds us all.},
