Exploring nematode diversity in soils: comparison of extraction methods and sequencing protocols
Soil nematodes play key roles in regulating organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling and trophic interactions in the soil ecosystem, and are very useful bioindicators of soil condition and soil health. But to characterise them, we need reliable measurements of nematode biodiversity in soils. DNA-based techniques such as metabarcoding have recently explored their biodiversity, with…
