Soil macrofauna biodiversity across land use systems in neotropical biomes
Description
Soils are one of the most complex and poorly understood compartments of terrestrial ecosystems and are critical to the delivery of many ecosystem services. Soils are also a major reservoir of biodiversity: they host around 25% of all known species. However, our knowledge of the ecology of soil organisms remains very poor, particularly in neotropical forests and derived ecosystems, despite repeated calls for a better exploration of this biological frontier. Critically, the spatial patterns of their biodiversity and the factors that drive them, still remain poorly known. Consequently, we have a limited quantitative understanding of the role of these animals in ecosystem functioning and their importance for human beings, and the need for their conservation and sustainable management. In the present project, we synthesize data on the soil macrofauna communities in various biomes of the neotropics, with a special focus on data from two megadiverse biomes that play a key role in the delivery of ecosystem services: Amazonia and the Atlantic Forest. We provide a number of datasets on soil macrofauna communities and associated environmental and soil quality parameters from over 500 sites in Brazil, Colombia, French Guyana, and Peru. The sources of these data are mainly within the project team and include unpublished data. The data here deposited are part of international cooperation projects, mainly funded by CESAB/FAPESP (The relationship between soil macrofauna biodiversity and ecosystem services delivery across land-use systems in neotropical rainforest biomes), but also CNPq and iDiv, and many of the datasets are part of a series of chapters in a major book on soil macrofauna in Brazil (in prep.).
