abstract = {Plant–soil biodiversity interactions are fundamental for the functioning of terrestrial
ecosystems. Yet, the existence of a set of globally distributed topsoil microbial and small
invertebrate organisms consistently associated with land plants (i.e., their consistent soil-borne
microbiome), together with the environmental preferences and functional capabilities
of these organisms, remains unknown. We conducted a standardized field survey
under 150 species of land plants, including 58 species of bryophytes and 92 of vascular
plants, across 124 locations from all continents. We found that, despite the immense biodiversity
of soil organisms, the land plants evaluated only shared a small fraction (less than
1%) of all microbial and invertebrate taxa that were present across contrasting climatic
and soil conditions and vegetation types. These consistent taxa were dominated by generalist
decomposers and phagotrophs and their presence was positively correlated with the
abundance of functional genes linked to mineralization. Finally, we showed that crossing
environmental thresholds in aridity (aridity index of 0.65, i.e., the transition from mesic to
dry ecosystems), soil pH (5.5; i.e., the transition from acidic to strongly acidic soils), and
carbon (less than 2%, the lower limit of fertile soils) can result in drastic disruptions in the
associations between land plants and soil organisms, with potential implications for the
delivery of soil ecosystem processes under ongoing global environmental change.},
