With many thanks to Leo Condron, Professor of Biogeochemistry at Lincoln University in the Department of Soil Science, we have some great reading material to share on Soil Biodiversity.
First up is the Global Soil Diversity Atlas – A joint venture from the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative and the European Commission Joint Research Centre, the Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas is the first synthesis of global soil biodiversity research and its importance to our living world. This is a free download, with hard copies also available.
