Soil is a living resource, home to more than 25% of our Earth's biodiversity!

But we are losing #SoilBiodiversity at an alarming rate!

Check out Food and Agriculture Organization's interactive story to discover the hidden world of soil biodiversity &how to protect it 👉bit.ly/3e8puav Food and Agriculture OrganizationKnowledge

Small, fascinating, and beautiful, fungi are essential components of #biodiversity , just like animals and plants. ❤️🍄🌍

Explore the fungal tree of life and find out how many fungi you can identify.

Happy #biodiversity day everybody!! Even below our feet- can you imagine all the critters crawling around there? 😍 #soillife #biodiversity #soilchips #soilwatching Biodiv. & Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate Ccc youtu.be/H-EE-FX_X_A?si…

Happy international #biodiversityday from GSBI! It's a great day to remember that about ~59% of the world's biodiversity lives in soils 🐛🐜🪱🤎

Thank you to Leena Vilonen and colleagues for the tribute to Diana Wall Soil Ecology Society #GOAT

Soil microbes aren't just fungi & bacteria🦠🍄 but also the incredible protists🤩

Based on the largest 🇪🇺 soil DNA dataset (885 locations) we found protistan communities more homogenised in croplands than grasslands/woodlands

“She always cared about other scientists, and was eager to learn about their research and their lives outside work. She has supported many people in their careers or during difficult times. Rarely do people touch as many lives as Diana did” ❤️ nature.com/articles/d4158…

GSBI's co-interim scientific chair and co-founder, Dr. Richard Bardgett, wrote an obituary for Dr. Diana Wall, GSBI's late scientific chair and founder of GSBI.
