R. P.  aGlobal distribution of earthworm diversity.h[electronic resource]  c2019  aSoil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them. We compiled a global dataset of sampled earthworm communities from 6928 sites in 57 countries as a basis for predicting patterns in earthworm diversity, abundance, and biomass. We found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms. However, high species dissimilarity across tropical locations may cause diversity across the entirety of the tropics to be higher than elsewhere. Climate variables were found to be more important in shaping earthworm communities than soil properties or habitat cover. These findings suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide.  aBiodiversity  aClimate change  aTropics  aBiodiversidade  aDistribuição Geográfica  aMinhoca  aMudança Climática  aEarthworm  aSoil property  aSpecies richness1 aGUERRA, C.
