Human-caused disturbance and loss of natural habitats greatly affect urban soil biodiversity.

"The potential for improving human health by enhancing urban soil biodiversity is an important yet little understood field of fundamental and applied research," she says.

As well as large urban parks, researchers point out that private backyards, potted indoor plants, and even road verges, footpaths and green roofs and walls can all elevate exposure to soil—in tandem with efforts to remediate and remove soil pollutants to regain a balance of soil biodiversity necessary for more healthy city environments.
