Suppressive service of the soil food web: Effects of environmental management (2007, background): “Indeed, abundance and diversity of nematodes are indicators of the soil faunal structure (length, complexity, connectivity and abundance of organisms at high trophic levels) and functioning (Bongers and Ferris, 1999; Ekschmitt et al., 2001; Yeates, 2003).”
Biological measurements in a nationwide soil monitoring network (2009, background): “Nematodes were classified according to trophic groups and life strategies (Bongers, 1990; Yeates, 2003).”
Plant species identity and diversity effects on different trophic levels of nematodes in the soil food web (2004, background): “The resolution of the latter indices might thus be too coarse to pick up differences between plant communities (Yeates 2003).”
Nutrition on bacteria by bacterial-feeding nematodes and consequences on the structure of soil bacterial community (2006, background): “General opportunists and particularly Cephalobidae (Ba2) are very common and generally the most abundant bacterialfeeding nematode of the soil [30].”
Contrasting mass‐ratio vs. niche complementarity effects on litter C and N loss during decomposition along a regional climatic gradient (2017, methodology): “the abundance of a particular nematode functional group/the total nematode abundance (Yeates 2003), or the microbial respiration rate of a particular carbon source/the sum of respiration rates of all carbon sources (Yu & Steinberger 2012).”
Bacterial traits, organism mass, and numerical abundance in the detrital soil food web of Dutch agricultural grasslands (2004, neutral): “Hunt & Wall 2002) and their consumers ( Yeates 2003 ).”
Soil biological quality after 36 years of ley-arable cropping, permanent grassland and permanent arable cropping (2008, methodology): “The Nematode Channel Ratio (NCR) was calculated to express the relative contributions of bacterivorous (B) and fungivorous (F) nematodes to the total nematode abundance (NCR = B/(B + F)) (Yeates, 2003).”
The impact of agricultural practices on soil biota: A regional study (2013, methodology): “Other functional 25 indicators were used in the present study: Nematode Channel Ratio (NCR), measuring the relative 26 abundance of bacterial-feeders (Yeates, 2003), Structure Index (SI), Enrichment Index (EI) and 27 ha l-0 08 69 85 9, v er si on 1 4 O ct 2 01 3”
Linking soil properties and nematode community composition: effects of soil management on soil food webs (2006, background): “…number of taxa (especially of upper trophic levels), and higher resolution identification, would be desirable to infer relationships more reliably (Yeates, 2003; Mulder et al., 2005), we observed significant relationships between sensitivity to tillage and trophic or cp groups, as similarly…”
Abundance, diversity, and resilience of nematode assemblages in forest soilsThis article is one of a selection of papers published in the Special Forum on Towards Sustainable Forestry — The Living Soil: Soil Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function. (2007, background): “In ecosystems, including natural and plantation forests, their diverse assemblages play important roles in ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling (Neher 2001; Yeates 2003).”
Changes in the community structure and diversity of soil invertebrates across the Franz Josef Glacier chronosequence (2008, methodology): “The nematode channel ratio, NCR 1⁄4 bacterial-feeders/(bacterialfeeders+fungal-feeders) (Yeates, 2003) was used as a ratio of bacterial- to fungal-feeding nematodes.”
