In their Perspective, Curtis and Sloan discuss how there is more to the findings of the Gans et al. paper (in the same issue) than the headline finding of 107 different bacteria in soil. The estimation of a species abundance curve for a sample of soil is of significance in its own right, forming a mathematical map for the exploration of the microbial diversity of soil.
