Diversity on diversity: soil biodiversity as driver for emergence of ecosystem functioning

企画者:金子信博(横浜国立大学)

Recent advances in method are providing vast amount of information of soil microbial diversity. There is also considerable number of studies on the relationship between above ground biodiversity and ecological functioning. Thus we are standing at the point to integrate both ideas to explain over all schemes of terrestrial ecosystems. We will discuss the mechanisms to maintain diversity of soil organisms in relation to above ground organisms. We will cover terrestrial organisms from microorganisms to trees.
