Protection of soil biodiversity is essential for ensuring the provision of ecosystem services. Although numerous studies about soil animals have been elaborated in Europe, a compiled dataset from European soil fauna studies is still missing. To cover this knowledge gap, we are working to produce the "European
Atlas of Soil Fauna " in the framework of the EUdaphobase COST Action (
https://www.eudaphobase.eu/).
We plan to collect and include datasets provided by European researchers working on this topic, who would like to highlight their data and become co-creators and co-authors of this collective initiative. Through the collation of actual data throughout Europe the planned European
Atlas of Soil Fauna will present the current state of soil fauna distribution and its relationships.
The questionnaire below gathers information about potential participants who are interested in working on text and/or provide (published) data for the Atlas. Filling the questionnaire will take about 10 minutes.
Your personal data (e-mail address, name and institute will be not be made publically available).
