Soil biodiversity and pedodiversity are closely related concepts that are essential for maintaining healthy and sustainable ecosystems. Soil biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms that inhabit soil, while pedodiversity refers to the diversity of soil types and landscapes. These two concepts are linked, as different soil types and landscapes can support different communities of soil organisms, which occupies a critical role in the longevity of soil health and fertility. Changes in pedodiversity can have significant impacts on soil biodiversity, which can, in turn, impact ecosystem functioning. Preserving and enhancing soil biodiversity and pedodiversity are therefore essential for maintaining healthy and sustainable ecosystems, and strategies for doing so may involve promoting organic farming, reducing tillage, and restoring degraded soils. Conclusively, addressing the links between soil biodiversity and pedodiversity can assist guide efforts to increase soil health and biodiversity, therefore sustaining a diverse variety of ecosystem processes and services.
