摘要

Soil biodiversity is essential for all ecosystem functions and for sustaining life on our planet. Despite this, soil biodiversity has historically been ignored in conservation and management policies and debates. However, the explicit inclusion of soil health in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and consideration of soil biodiversity at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) are important policy breakthroughs; all Parties to the CBD are now invited, on a voluntary basis, to report on the status of their soil biodiversity from 2026. This Perspective discusses pathways to build on the KMGBF and proposes that an integrated and system-based approach for future monitoring and conservation strategies is urgently needed to improve fundamental understanding of soil biodiversity and its contribution to ecosystem services. Currently, infrastructure and expertise barriers, regulatory restrictions, and insufficient data storage and sharing capacity limit the ability to effectively monitor global soil biodiversity. Prioritizing baseline data generation, mechanisms to store and share policy-relevant data, and effective societal engagement and governance at various implementation scales are urgently needed for successful monitoring and conservation outcomes.
