Dynamics of soil nematode communties along an aridity gradient

Description

Soil nematode communites were sampled and analyzed inside and outside of 16 natural forests dominated by Pinus tabulaeformis along an aridity gradient (aridity between 0.2 to 0.8). The number, diversity, and ecological indices as well as the soil phytochemical parameters were measured to show how the structure of soil nematodes changes over the variation in environmental aridity.

Steps to reproduce

In this study we investigated soil nematode communities inside and outside of 16 natural forests dominated by Pinus tabulaeformis along an aridity gradient (aridity between 0.2 to 0.8).
