KEYNOTE PRESENTATION - Is soil biodiversity a nature-based solution? Mr Wim van der Putten, Netherlands Institute of Ecology, The Netherlands
1. Wim van der Putten
Is soil biodiversity a nature-based
solution?
2. Soil biodiversity a solution for what?
Everything that we eat, drink, breath, clothes that we wear, and materials that
we use pass through soil and soil biodiversity over and over again.
So: soil biodiversity a solution for sustainability?
3. Half of all sustainable development goals (sdg’s) depend on soil (blue marks)
Global soil biodiversity assessment in progress
4. A hand full of soil: over 5,000 ‘species’ of microbes,
more individuals than humans on earth.
5. Bardgett and van der Putten Nature 2014
The main players: microbes, invertebrates, small vertebrates: 0.000 002 – 0.2 m
6. Is soil biodiversity a solution for sustainability,
and can we learn from nature?
Take home message: yes, but
1. We have to think beyond numbers only
2. Restoring soil biodiversity requires thinking
about ecosystem management

Soil biodiversity is
multi-functional, contributing
to many ecosystem services;
Soil biota differ in activities,
across space,
and across time

Correlation-based networks in three phases of land abandonment: roughly 5, 15 and 30 years ago:
Network interaction strengths increased with time
Dense networks were more efficient in carbon and nitrogen uptake,
and they had fewer soil-borne pathogens
11. Soil biodiversity network
interaction strength increases
What can we do in agriculture?
Reduced tillage, soil organic matter, cover crops, less pesticides, etc.
Nature: early succession Mid/later succession
less efficient soils more efficient soils
more pathogens more mutualistic symbionts
12. Soil biodiversity network
The problem: a sustainable soil biodiversity network ‘needs’ slow-growing
plant species to get the nutrients out
Nature:
early succession
fast growth
Nature:
mid/late succession:
slow growth
13. Nature-based agriculture:
increasing soil biodiversity
and network interaction strength
The point: increasing soil biodiversity also requires attention for crop traits
Intensive
agriculture
The challenge for
nature-based
14. Outlook:
There are currently several lines being explored for crops making better
use of enhanced soil biodiversity:
- going back to wild crop relatives: how do they make use of
microbiomes and can those traits be restored in current crops
- studying wild plant species along successional gradients to unravel
how plants may be productive in high-diversity soils
15. Conclusions:
• Considering soil biodiversity also requires considering traits,
interactions, and network structure (so, not only numbers)
• Soil biodiversity as a nature-based solution to enhance sustainability
is possible, but it takes two to tango: a nature-based soil biodiversity
also requires crops that can handle these soils
