The global contribution of soil mosses to ecosystem services
Eldridge, David J.; Guirado, Emilio; Reich, Peter B.; Ochoa-Hueso, Raúl; Berdugo, Miguel; Sáez-Sandino, Tadeo; Blanco-Pastor, José L.; Tedersoo, LehoSoil mosses are among the most widely distributed organisms on land. Experiments and observations suggest that they contribute to terrestrial soil biodiversity and function, yet their ecological contribution to soil has never been assessed globally under natural conditions. Here we conducted the most comprehensive global standardized field study to quantify how soil mosses influence 8 ecosystem services associa...

Liu, Yu-Rong; van der Heijden, Marcel G A; Riedo, Judith; Sanz-Lazaro, Carlos; Eldridge, David J.; Bastida, Felipe; Moreno-Jiménez, EduardoSoil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little is known about the extent to which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces and natural ecosystems. Here we show that urban greenspaces and adjacent natural areas (i.e., natural/semi-natural ecosystems) shared similar levels of multiple soil contaminants (metal(loid)s, pesticides, microplastics, and antibi...
