- •
We comprehensively reviewed the present taxonomic knowledge of soil biota of South Africa.
- •
South Africa contains nearly 2% of the world’s described species, with a high level of endemism.
- •
Areas such as the Nama-Karoo, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape are undersampled for most taxa.
- •
A more integrative approach to acquiring foundational knowledge of soil biodiversity is needed.
