Ecological drivers of soil microbial diversity and soil biological networks in the Southern Hemisphere
Abstract The ecological drivers of soil biodiversity in the Southern Hemisphere remain underexplored. Here, in a continental survey comprising 647 sites, across 58 degrees of latitude between tropical Australia and Antarctica, we evaluated the major ecological patterns in soil biodiversity and relat...
