Knowledge of global patterns of biodiversity are based on aboveground ecosystems, even though these systems are integrally linked belowground. This grant will be the first to extend our knowledge of the unseen world in soils by determining if soils have regional and global patterns and hotspots of biodiversity and how these relate to aboveground diversity and ecosystem functioning. Using molecular techniques and ecosystem techniques, this research will integrate knowledge at the species level to ecosystem function. Establishing knowledge on soil biodiversity has implications for management of invasive species, for prioritizing sites for conservation, and for determining how global terrestrial ecosystems function.

对全球生物多样性模式的认识是基于地上生态系统，尽管这些系统在地下是紧密相连的。这笔赠款将是第一个通过确定土壤是否具有区域和全球生物多样性模式和热点，以及这些模式和热点与地上生物多样性和生态系统功能的关系，来扩展我们对土壤中看不见的世界的知识。利用分子技术和生态系统 技术，这项研究将在物种一级的知识，生态系统功能。建立土壤生物多样性的知识对管理入侵物种、优先保护地点以及确定全球 陆地生态系统的功能。
