There are great concerns about the impacts of soil biodiversity loss on ecosystem functions
and services such as nutrient cycling, food production, and carbon storage. A diverse …

The structure of soil nematode assemblages was assessed in field plots in the San Joaquin
Valley of California which have 16-year management system histories. Attributes of the …

Abstract Development from bare soil to biological soil crust (BSC) after the establishment of
vegetation for sand fixation is an important desertification rehabilitation process in dryland …

Current climate change has led to latitudinal and altitudinal range expansions of numerous
species. During such range expansions, plant species are expected to experience changes …

Despite enormous diversity, abundance and their role in ecosystem processes, little is
known about how community structures of soil-inhabiting nematodes differ across elevation …

We searched for patterns supporting the hypothesis of compositional and functional linkage
between forest floor nematode communities and dominant tree canopies, while controlling …

Nematodes serve as key indicators of soil health in ecological studies. Therefore, the current
study examined the community structure and metabolic footprint of soil nematodes in alfalfa …

Soil food webs, which are responsible for relevant ecological functions in agroecosystems
such as nutrient cycling and pest and disease suppression, represent a crucial aspect of …

Seasonally dry tropical forests are strongly affected by anthropogenic disturbance and
climate changes, which represent the main threats to soil biodiversity, affecting the activity …

Soil nematodes are key components of soil food web and, through their metabolic activities,
play a crucial role in soil carbon (C) cycling. Aboveground and belowground plant C inputs …
