Effects of organic amendment and tillage on soil microorganisms and microfauna (2010, methodology): “This index reflects the abundance of enrichment opportunists (Ferris et al., 2001), i.”
Exotic plant influences soil nematode communities through litter input (2007, methodology): “Except for plant feeders, nematodes were further assigned into functional guilds integrating their feeding habits and c–p values, and the weightings of guilds along the structure and enrichment trajectories were determined according to Ferris et al. (2001).”
Nematodes as soil indicators: functional and biodiversity aspects (2003, background): “Both diversity and cp-linked approaches have also been used in such comparisons of nematode assemblages (Wardle et al. 2001; Ferris et al. 2001).”
Structural and functional succession in the nematode fauna of a soil food web (2003, methodology): “Since a higher EI is associated with greater bacterial abundance and activity ( Ferris et al., 2001), we examined the magnitude of the EI for each input at 0 DD10 (March 2001) and the rate of its decline in relation to the nature of the input.”
Plant species identity and diversity effects on different trophic levels of nematodes in the soil food web (2004, methodology): “We also calculated diversity indices over all taxa, as well as functional diversity indices developed for nematode community studies ( Ferris et al. 2001 ).”
Responses of grassland soil nematodes and protozoa to multi-year and single-year applications of dairy manure slurry and fertilizer (2005, background): “Both indices involve removing the enrichment opportunists from calculations and complement the MI as measures of structural complexity of the nematode community, and the food web it represents, when changes in organic inputs are involved (Bongers, 1999; Ferris et al., 2001 ).”
Soil nematode genera that predict specific types of disturbance (2013, background): “Nematodes have attributes that make them useful as ecological indicators (Ferris et al., 2001; Freckman, 1988; Neher, 2001b).”
Soil management to enhance bacterivore and fungivore nematode populations and their nitrogen mineralisation function (2004, methodology): “Nematode faunal analyses were performed as indicators of food web structure, status, functionality, and resource availability ( Ferris et al., 2001; Ferris and Matute, 2003).”
Soil food webs and carbon dynamics in response to conservation tillage in California (2007, methodology): “, 1998), edaphic conditions (Yeates, 1994), and soil management (Ferris et al., 2001).”
Effects of agricultural management on nematode–mite assemblages: Soil food web indices as predictors of mite community composition (2009, methodology): “Soil food web indices, based on nematode functional guild abundances, were calculated after Ferris et al. (2001).”
Biological Indices for Soil Quality Evaluation: Perspectives and Limitations (2016, methodology): “The reader is referred to Ferris et al. (2001) for details on EI, SI, CI and BI calculations.”
Effects of tillage and residue management on soil nematode communities in North China (2012, methodology): “In the soil food web, plant parasites and omnivores-predators belonging to K-strategists with relatively higher cp values exhibited greater sensitivity to environmental disturbance compared to bacterivores belonging to r-strategists (Ferris et al., 2001).”
Soil nematode communities are ecologically more mature beneath late- than early-successional stage biological soil crusts (2007, methodology): “Finally, the enrichment index (EI) and structure index (SI) were calculated according to Ferris et al. (2001) .”
Influences of organic and synthetic soil fertility amendments on nematode trophic groups and community dynamics under tomatoes (2002, background): “…index (EI), structure index (SI), and channel index (CI), provide additional information about the nematode community structure in stressed, enriched, stable structured, and decomposition environments, and provide important information on the dynamics of soil food webs (Ferris et al., 2001).”
