Global data on earthworm abundance, biomass, diversity and corresponding environmental properties
Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity da...

Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services.

Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site.
