Rapid land use and climate are projected to cause broad scale global land cover transformation that will increase microbial species extinction rates. Countries rich in threatened species, which are also projected to have relatively high total future habitat loss, are concentrated around the equator. Various forms of pollution coupled with habitat fragmentation are responsible for the loss of microbial diversity in soil. The article describes means of sustainable management of the soil microbial diversity.
