Biography: Dr. Diana Wall is actively engaged in research to explore how soil biodiversity contributes to healthy, productive soils and thus to society, and the consequences of human activities on soil sustainability. She chaired the SCOPE Committee on Soil and Sediment Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning and edited the volume, Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Soils and Sediments (2004, Island Press). Her research from the tropics to the Antarctic Dry Valleys examines soil biodiversity and ecosystem processes. She serves as a member of the US Commission of UNESCO. Diana is a member of the Advisory Committee, Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility-CIAT Project on Conservation and Sustainable Management of Belowground Biodiversity; and is on the Advisory Board for the UK Population Biology Network. Diana has been President of the Ecological Society of America, the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Intersociety Consortium for Plant Protection, Association of Ecosystem Research Centers, the Society of Nematologists and Chair, Council of Scientific Society Presidents.
