From Springtails to Pauropods: Soil Biodiversity Monitoring in the UK
Beneath our feet, soils are home to a diverse variety of invertebrates. These range from familiar animals (such as earthworms) to less familiar organisms (such as pauropods and two-pronged bristletails). Understanding which species are present (and which are absent) within a specific soil ecosystem can help us better understand the condition and health of soils. Dr Frank Ashwood, a soil ecologist working for Forest Research, will give an overview of the major soil biodiversity monitoring projects currently being undertaken in the UK and globally, in this Biological Recording Company event.
