Here we introduce the Soil BON Foodweb Team, a cross-continental collaborative network that aims to monitor soil animal communities and food webs using consistent methodology at a global scale. Soil animals support vital soil processes via soil structure modification, direct consumption of dead organic matter, and interactions with microbial and plant communities. Soil animal effects on ecosystem functions have been demonstrated by correlative analyses as well as in laboratory and field experiments, but these studies typically focus on selected animal groups or species at one or few sites with limited variation in environmental conditions. The lack of comprehensive harmonised large-scale soil animal community data including microfauna, mesofauna, and macrofauna, in conjunction with related soil functions, limits our understanding of biological interactions in soil communities and how these interactions affect ecosystem functioning. To provide such data, the Soil BON Foodweb Team invites researchers worldwide to use a common methodology to address six long-term goals: (1) to collect globally representative harmonised data on soil micro-, meso-, and macrofauna communities; (2) to describe key environmental drivers of soil animal communities and food webs; (3) to assess the efficiency of conservation approaches for the protection of soil animal communities; (4) to describe soil food webs and their association with soil functioning globally; (5) to establish a global research network for soil biodiversity monitoring and collaborative projects in related topics; (6) to reinforce local collaboration networks and expertise and support capacity building for soil animal research around the world. In this paper, we describe the vision of the global research network and the common sampling protocol to assess soil animal communities and advocate for the use of standard methodologies across observational and experimental soil animal studies. We will use this protocol to conduct soil animal assessments and reconstruct soil food webs on the sites included in the global soil biodiversity monitoring network, Soil BON, allowing us to assess linkages among soil biodiversity, vegetation, soil physico-chemical properties, and ecosystem functions. In the present paper, we call for researchers especially from countries and ecoregions that remain underrepresented in the majority of soil biodiversity assessments to join us. Together we will be able to provide science-based evidence to support soil biodiversity conservation and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems.

Soils host approximately 50% of the biomass and a major part of the diversity of animals on land. However, large-scale data that link soil animal diversity with ecosystem functions is limited to few regional studies, hampering our understanding of soil animal contribution to global biogeochemistry. Besides, global abiotic and biotic drivers and assembly processes in soil animal communities and food webs have not been comprehensively assessed. Here we introduce Soil BON Foodweb Team (SBF Team), a novel international voluntary initiative that addresses these gaps by a standardized global assessment of soil animal communities across micro-, meso-, and macrofauna. By sampling Soil BON sites (https://www.globalsoilbiodiversity.org/soilbon), this initiative is the first to link soil animal communities across the size spectrum to a range of soil functions worldwide. At present the initiative includes soil ecologists from 15+ countries covering all continents. We intend to expand the network and conduct the first sampling campaign in 2022 covering a minimum of 200 sampling sites globally. We are welcome for researchers especially from underrepresented countries. Jointly, we will be able to produce unprecedented data to address exciting and challenging questions and establish a global collaboration network for soil animal diversity monitoring and future joint work.

“…These organisms, annelid worms (Annelida: Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae), belong to the soil mesofauna, in which they play important roles, either located in natural or agricultural environments (Pelosi & Römbke, 2016; Van Capelle et al, 2012). Most research has taken place in Europe, although enchytraeids are also abundant in Brazilian agroecosystems (Demetrio et al, 2020; Niva et al, 2015), and include some studies in other countries like Argentina (Lopez et al, 2005; Romero, 2019), Korea (Dózsa‐Farkas et al, 2018), Antarctica (Lee et al, 2019) and others. Enchytraeidae assessment has been proposed as a monitoring tool for the biological quality of soil (Bispo et al, 2009); as such, enchytraeids are recognized as sensitive bioindicators with regard to changes in soil pH (Didden & Römbke, 2001) as well as management and use, being more abundant in soils with an intermediate level of disturbance (Pelosi & Römbke, 2016, 2018; Van Capelle et al, 2012).…”

The relationship between the productivity of crops of agricultural interest and their interactions with physicochemical soil properties is widely explored. However, there is still a gap concerning the contribution of biological soil attributes and especially the relationship between crop productivity and the structures of organism communities within the soil, such as the enchytraeids. This paper aimed to evaluate the diversity and structures of enchytraeids communities in subtropical soils and their relationship with soybean productivity and soil properties within a no‐tillage system. This study was conducted in soybean growing grounds working under no‐till farming systems in southern Brazil. Samples were collected according to ISO 23611‐3 and extracted with the hot–wet methodology. The organisms were identified up to their genus level. Enchytraeids density increased with the increase of soybean productivity for both evaluated crops. Enchytraeus, Fridericia, and Hemienchytraeus were more abundant in high productivity and genus Achaeta was only found in the second crop and was not a sensitive indicator toward changes in soybean productivity. Regarding the relationship between the enchytraeid community and soil attributes, the variables clay, phosphorus, moisture contents, pH, Ca/Mg as well as carbon and nitrogen from soil and litter, affected Enchytraeidae distribution. Enchytreids showed significant correlations with soybean productivity in the no‐tillage system for subtropical soils in Brazil, demonstrating potential bioindicators of soil quality and consequently of soybean productivity.
