Figure 1 Dominant soil and humus types, typical
soil forming invertebrates and major global
change treats across biomes with characteristic
MAT and MAP (mean annual temperature
precipitation) (based on Ponge 2003 and Palm et
al. 2007 biome position after Woodward et al.
2004). Warming causing increased nutrient cycling
rates, more extreme precipitation patterns (MMP
mean monthly precipitation) increasing
catastrophic disturbances (floods, droughts,
erosion, fires). Moder with poorer parental
bedrock.
