Nematode as a soil biodiversity indicator
Journal Title: Agricultural Advances - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Nematodes are one of the most abundantanimals on earth. Their food specificity, the high number of species and highabundance in every habitat where decomposition takes place indicates that thestructure of the nematode community has high information content. Since nematodesrespond rapidly to new resources, and the nematode fauna can be efficientlyanalyzed, the structure of the nematode community offers an instrument toassess (changes in) the conditions of soils. Therefore, indicators based onnematode community composition are among the best developed metrics of soilhealth.
