Soil nematode communities on five oceanic islands across a latitudinal gradient in the north of the South China Sea: Influence of biotic and abiotic factors

Factors that influence the composition and diversity of soil nematode communities on oceanic islands are poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the soil nematode communities and associated biotic and abiotic factors on five oceanic islands in the north of the South China Sea. We detected 38...

In this study, we evaluated the soil nematode communities and associated biotic and abiotic factors on five oceanic islands in the north of the South China Sea.

The abundances of total soil nematodes and of all trophic groups, maturity, structure indices and nematode diversity were positively correlated with island latitude and area, and were negatively correlated with soil total K and annual temperature.
