“…With the development of the city's industrial and transportation, the original inheritance of urban soil has changed in a certain intensity. e soil is widely distributed in the suburban areas, urban rivers, leisure venues, stadiums, roads and waste plant, and abandoned factories around or covered by industrial and building facilities [1]. With the acceleration of global urbanization, there are more and more heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu).…”

In order to investigate the effects of fertilization on soil chemical characteristics and ecological security, the chemical characteristics and ecological security risk analysis of heavy metal elements in a certain soil caused by fertilization were proposed. The contents of Ni, V, Cr, As, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Hg in 1,065 surface soil samples collected in a district of a city in the southwest agricultural area were tested and analyzed. Multivariate statistical analysis and spatial analysis were used to clarify the geochemical distribution characteristics of these heavy metals, and the possible main sources were also discussed. The results showed that the eight heavy metals could be divided into three categories. The first category included Ni, V, Cr, and As, whose content was lower than the background value in Beijing. And the distribution was mainly affected by natural factors such as parent materials of soil formation. The second category included Cd, Pb, and Zn, whose average content was higher than the background value. And the content was the highest in residential areas. In addition to the parent material inherited from the soil, the distribution characteristics of these elements were greatly affected by human activities. And Cd was significantly more affected by human activities than Pb and Zn. The third category included Hg, and it was inferred that atmospheric deposition was the main factor affecting the distribution of Hg. It was concluded that the Hakanson method was used to evaluate the ecological risk of heavy metals in soil, and the results showed that the potential ecological risk index was low in the area.

“…Governments, regulatory bodies, and international entities have the power to enact legislation, regulations, publication requirements, and incentives that bolster sustainable land use, safeguard natural habitats, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (Christensen et al, 2021;McDonald et al, 2023). These governance regimes need to be well-designed and inclusive to be effective (Bartkowski et al, 2021;Paul et al, 2023), also taking into account connections across different actors (Williams et al, 2023) and their behavioral heterogeneity (Huber et al, 2024;Swart et al, 2023). Perceived fairness and effectiveness of such policy measures and trust in implementing institutions will determine their acceptance by citizens (Bergquist et al, 2022).…”

Soil is central to the complex interplay among biodiversity, climate, and society. This paper examines the interconnectedness of soil biodiversity, climate change, and societal impacts, emphasizing the urgent need for integrated solutions. Human‐induced biodiversity loss and climate change intensify environmental degradation, threatening human well‐being. Soils, rich in biodiversity and vital for ecosystem function regulation, are highly vulnerable to these pressures, affecting nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and resilience. Soil also crucially regulates climate, influencing energy, water cycles, and carbon storage. Yet, climate change poses significant challenges to soil health and carbon dynamics, amplifying global warming. Integrated approaches are essential, including sustainable land management, policy interventions, technological innovations, and societal engagement. Practices like agroforestry and organic farming improve soil health and mitigate climate impacts. Effective policies and governance are crucial for promoting sustainable practices and soil conservation. Recent technologies aid in monitoring soil biodiversity and implementing sustainable land management. Societal engagement, through education and collective action, is vital for environmental stewardship. By prioritizing interdisciplinary research and addressing key frontiers, scientists can advance understanding of the soil biodiversity–climate change–society nexus, informing strategies for environmental sustainability and social equity.

Soils, just like all other ecosystem compartments, change over time and, consequently, conditions for soil‐inhabiting organisms are also changing, affecting their composition and diversity. Soil biodiversity is a critical component of ecosystems that supports many essential ecosystem functions and services, such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, water regulation and biomass production for food, fodder, fibre and energy. However, and despite the importance of soil biodiversity for ecosystem health and human well‐being, neither current state, drivers, potential consequences for ecosystem services nor options for sustainable governance of soil biodiversity are well understood. Here, we provide a framework for and argue that conducting a national assessment of soil biodiversity, albeit being a complex endeavour, is fundamental to building a baseline to understand the current state and trends of soil biodiversity, but also to identify the main drivers of change, the impacts of soil biodiversity loss and the potential pathways for conservation and sustainable governance of soil biodiversity.
