Abstract

From soil microbes to towering forests, living organisms underpin our civilisation by supplying our food, regulating our climate, and providing the substrates for tomorrow’s medicines and materials. However, ecosystems worldwide are collapsing, and current efforts to safeguard their services and resources are insufficient. By combining high-resolution measurement with targeted, resilience-boosting interventions, we could halt current declines and ultimately reverse them, enabling communities and ecosystems to prosper together.
