Divergent national-scale trends of microbial and animal biodiversity revealed across diverse temperate soil ecosystems

It is unclear whether microbes and animals residing in soils follow similar distribution patterns. Here, the authors report richness and diversity of soil microbes and invertebrates across soil, vegetation, and land use gradients in Wales, showing that land use affects animals while soil traits affe...
