Ecosystem type affects interpretation of soil nematode community measures (2005, background): “…with disturbance, opposite of our expectation that forest soils would represent a later stage of succession in the decomposer community and, thus, have relatively more numerous fungivores than bacterivores (López-Fando and Bello, 1995; Yeates, 1999; Thornton and Matlack, 2002; Ruess, 2003).”
Soil Nematode Response to Biochar Addition in a Chinese Wheat Field (2013, methodology): “F/B ratio was used as an indicator of the dominant decomposition pathway (Ruess, 2003) and clearly reflected the shift in prevalence of bacterial-feeding to fungal-feeding nematodes (Steel et al., 2010).”
Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, background): “…microorganisms are the primary decomposers, but microfauna (especially protozoa and nematodes) which feed on microbes are important ARTICLE IN PRESS H. Chen et al. / Soil Biology & Biochemistry 39 (2007) 1782–1793 1783 intermediaries in detrital food webs (Ingham et al., 1985; Ruess, 2003).”
