EUdaphobase-Supported Study Delivers New Europe-Wide Maps of Soil Fauna

Thanks to Maria Tsiafouli, Flore Marchal, Alexandre Wadoux, Jérôme Cortet, and EUdaphobase data providers, a new EUdaphobase-supported study will soon appear in Applied Soil Ecology. It maps the distribution of earthworms, millipedes, and springtails across Europe using data from Edaphobase, GBIF, and other sources. The work reveals key environmental drivers of soil-fauna diversity and exposes major data gaps, highlighting the need for coordinated soil-biodiversity monitoring across Europe.
