Taxa dissimilarities across continents and between them would strengthen these projections.

We show how turnover patterns can be used to project taxaвЂ“area relationships up to whole continents. This suggests that despite high local diversity, microorganisms may have only moderate regional diversity. The taxaвЂ“area relationship of these terrestrial microbial eukaryotes was relatively flat (slope z = 0.074) and consistent with those reported in aquatic habitats 8, 9. Turnover rates were small across large geographical distances, of similar magnitude when measured within distinct habitats, and did not increase going from one vegetation type to another. Here we present quantitative estimates of microbial community turnover at local and regional scales using the largest spatially explicit microbial diversity data set available (> 10 6 sample pairs). Although microorganisms may comprise much of the Earth's biodiversity 3, 4 and have critical roles in biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning 5, 6, 7, little is known about their spatial diversification.
