Human‐driven changes in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs are modifying
biogeochemical cycles and the trophic state of many habitats worldwide. These alterations …

The short-term effects of soil amendments on the structure, diversity and function of a
nematode community of Miscanthus× giganteus was investigated. Crop was cultivated on …

In a greenhouse experiment, we studied the impact of Melia azedarach ripe fruit water
extract (MWE), Furfural (a key ingredient of M. azedarach), and the commercial nematicide …

Despite conservation efforts and increased awareness, the loss of soil biodiversity goes on
across a wide range of ecosystems. Since soil function and structure depend mainly on the …

Understanding soil biodiversity response to land use change is crucial for predicting and
preserving soil ecological functions and health under anthropogenic influence. Yet, the …

Soil biodiversity and food webs are altered by intensive farming practices. To assess the
response of nematofauna to intensive tomato production, soil samples were collected from …

Coffee is an important commodity for Kenya, where production is steadily declining, despite
a global rise in demand. Of the various constraints affecting production, plant-parasitic …

Both global warming and alien plant invasion can affect the biotic communities in the soil.
Most studies are focused on the soil microbial community, but little is known about how …

Nematodes play an important role in agricultural soil in terms of their pest status and their
contribution to soil quality, where they may serve as a valuable indicator of soil health. The …

This chapter presents tools to assess the risk of chemical pollution in freshwater and soil
ecosystems using nematodes as either indicators or models in ecotoxicology. The potential …
