Until recently, cultural ecosystem services (CES) provided by soil biodiversity remained virtually unknown. We have reviewed multilingual and multisubject literature on cultural benefits provided by soil biota in European forests. We found 226 papers mentioning impact of soil biota on the cultural aspects of human life. According to the reviewed literature, soil organisms contribute to all CES, although their weight (expressed as a number of references found) was different for individual CES and individual organism groups. Soil biota is an important supplier of CES but they are generally not well understood by the general public. We propose the measures to raise public awareness of soil biota and the significance of its diversity by using knowledge gained from the CES review and the CES themselves.
