“…This is different from studies on elevational diversity gradients of TA in soil samples, which showed a bell-shaped pattern of TA biodiversity peaking at intermediate elevations following the distribution of vegetation (Krashevska et al, 2007). For example, Tsyganov et al (2022) found 95 TA taxa, which mostly belonged to ubiquitous taxa (e.g., Trinema lineare, Euglypha laevis, Cryptodifflugia oviformis, and Trinema complanatum) besides TA taxa with limited geographic distribution (e.g., Centropyxis latideflandriana, C. stenodeflandriana, Plagiopyxis cf. barrosi, Heleopera rectangularis, and Distomatopyxis couillardi), in samples from Mount Fuji (904-2377 m a.s. l., Japan).…”

“…Along such gradients, contrasting patterns of distribution were observed: a hump-shaped pattern along the gradient (e.g. Krashevska et al ., 2007; Krashevska, Maraun & Scheu, 2010; Lamentowicz et al ., 2013), the lowest diversity at mid-elevations (Tsyganov et al ., 2022), decreasing richness, diversity, and equitability with increasing elevation (Heger et al ., 2016), or no response to elevation (Mitchell, Bragazza & Gerdol, 2004).…”

Despite the importance of healthy soils for human livelihood, wellbeing, and safety, current gaps in our knowledge and understanding of biodiversity in soil are numerous, undermining conservation efforts. These gaps are particularly wide in mountain regions where healthy soils are especially important for human safety and yet evidence is accumulating of ongoing degradation, posing significant threats to ecosystem functioning and human settlements.To analyse these gaps in detail, we synthesise current research on the global diversity of microorganisms, cryptogams, and invertebrates in mountain soils above the treeline. This synthesis is based on a semi-quantitative survey of the literature and an expert-based analysis. Our work reveals not only deficiencies in geographic cover but also significant gaps in taxonomic coverage, particularly among soil protists and invertebrates, and a lack of (functional and ecological) description of the uncultivated majority of prokaryotes, fungi, and protists. We subsequently build on this overview to highlight opportunities for research on mountain soils as systems of co-occurring species that interact in complex environmental matrices to fulfil critical functions and make essential contributions to life on land.Closing gaps in biodiversity research in mountain soil is crucial to enhance our understanding and to promote laws and guidelines advancing international soil biodiversity conservation targets in mountains. Addressing sparse and biased data, recognizing the impact of environmental changes on mountain ecosystems, and advocating dedicated policies are essential strategies to safeguard mountain soils and their biodiversity.GLOSSARY
