Abstract

Aim: While soil microorganisms play key roles in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, methodological constraints and sparse data have hampered our ability to describe and understand the global distribution of soil microbial biomass. Here, we present a comprehensive quantification of the environmental drivers of soil microbial biomass. Location: Global. Methods: We used a comprehensive global dataset of georeferenced soil microbial biomass estimates and high-resolution climatic and soil data. Results: We show that microbial biomass carbon (C
