چکیده
The health and functioning of soil ecosystems are the foundation sustainable food production land management. Of key importance in achieving sustainability, is frequent measurement health, indices based on community structure nematodes amongst most widely used toolsets by ecologists. Thirty years after development Maturity Index, we aimed to evaluate application, utility, future directions nematode-based (NBIs). This review focused NBIs that calculated using coloniser-persister classification nematodes. Data from 672 empirical studies terrestrial environments revealed presented a dissimilar usage trend. Channel Index Metabolic Footprints showed strongest increase application rates over time, thus indicating greater interest studying decomposition pathways ecosystem functioning, respectively. Furthermore, were mostly applied agricultural systems associated with herbaceous crops investigating, for example, nutrient enrichment following manure and/or inorganic fertilizer application. We further provide framework selecting focus-orientated subset testing hypotheses underlying ecological mechanisms. Also, highlight important considerations, including unexpected behaviour some nematode taxa, interpretation NBIs. improvement relies advancing our understanding autecology Finally, deliver insight into considering recent methodological advancements. have been might become increasingly providing valuable information especially urgent need more use.

Reflections on plant and soil nematode ecology: past, present and future.
The purpose of this review is to highlight key developments in nematode ecology from its beginnings to where it stands today as a discipline within nematology. Emerging areas of research appear to be driven by crop production constraints, environmental health concerns, and advances in technology. In contrast to past ecological studies which mainly focused on management of plant-parasitic nemato...
متن کاملHistorical foundations and future directions in macrosystems ecology.
Macrosystems ecology is an effort to understand ecological processes and interactions at the broadest spatial scales and has potential to help solve globally important social and ecological challenges. It is important to understand the intellectual legacies underpinning macrosystems ecology: How the subdiscipline fits within, builds upon, differs from and extends previous theories. We trace the...
متن کاملPhilosophical Issues in Ecology: Recent Trends and Future Directions
Philosophy of ecology has been slow to become established as an area of philosophical interest, but it is now receiving considerable attention. This area holds great promise for the advancement of both ecology and the philosophy of science. Insights from the philosophy of science can advance ecology in a number of ways. For example, philosophy can assist with the development of improved models ...
