The ecological interactions that occur in and with soil are of consequence in many ecosystems on the planet. These interactions provide numerous essential ecosystem services, and the sustainable management of soils has attracted increasing scientific and public attention. Although soil ecology emerged as an independent field of research many decades ago, and we have gained important insights into the functioning of soils, there still are fundamental aspects that need to be better understood to ensure that the ecosystem services that soils provide are not lost and that soils can be used in a sustainable way. In this perspectives paper, we highlight some of the major knowledge gaps that should be prioritized in soil ecological research. These research priorities were compiled based on an online survey of 32 editors of Pedobiologia - Journal of Soil Ecology. These editors work at universities and research centers in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia.The questions were categorized into four themes: (1) soil biodiversity and biogeography, (2) interactions and the functioning of ecosystems, (3) global change and soil management, and (4) new directions. The respondents identified priorities that may be achievable in the near future, as well as several that are currently achievable but remain open. While some of the identified barriers to progress were technological in nature, many respondents cited a need for substantial leadership and goodwill among members of the soil ecology research community, including the need for multi-institutional partnerships, and had substantial concerns regarding the loss of taxonomic expertise.

土壤生态学研究的重点

发生在土壤中和与土壤的生态相互作用对地球上的许多生态系统都有影响。这些相互作用提供了许多重要的生态系统服务,土壤的可持续管理已引起越来越多的科学和公众关注。尽管几十年前土壤生态学作为一个独立的研究领域出现了,我们对土壤的功能有了重要的认识,但仍有一些基本方面需要更好地理解,以确保土壤提供的生态系统服务不会丢失,土壤可以以可持续的方式使用。在这篇观点论文中,我们强调了在土壤生态研究中应优先考虑的一些主要知识差距。这些研究重点是根据对 Pedobiology - Journal of Soil Ecology 的 32 位编辑的在线调查编制的。这些编辑在欧洲、北美、亚洲和澳大利亚的大学和研究中心工作。问题分为四个主题:(1) 土壤生物多样性和生物地理学,(2) 生态系统的相互作用和功能,(3) 全球变化和土壤管理,以及 (4) 新方向。受访者确定了在不久的将来可能实现的优先事项,以及目前可以实现但仍然开放的几个优先事项。虽然一些已确定的进步障碍本质上是技术性的,但许多受访者表示需要土壤生态研究界成员之间的实质性领导和善意,包括需要多机构伙伴关系,
