Abstract
Biodiversity is fundamental to preserve soil ecosystem services (ES). In 2012-2013 in five organic-biodynamic and five conventional horticultural fields in Venice and Treviso provinces (North Italy), several bioindicators have been chosen providing basic ES. 1. earthworms, soil structure promoters, responsible for air and water soil circulation and for organic matter (OM) decomposition; 2. mesofauna which includes detritivores and small predators; 3. Soil bacteria and fungi, protagonists in OM decomposition and in nutrient cycles.
