The results show that total nematode abundance gradually decreases with depth,and the highest number of total nematodes is observed at 0-5 cm depth under NT and FF treatments. The number of fungivores and plant parasites is significantly higher under FF and NT treatments than under CT treatment at the 0-5 cm depth. There is significant soil depth effect on the abundances of bacterivores and omnivores-predators,which exhibits a similar trend to that of total nematodes; whereas,no significant tillage effect is found. Tillage effect on soil nematode communities can be reflected by values of relative tillage response of index V. Results of index V indicate that total nematodes,bacterivores,fungivores and plant parasites are mildly inhibited,and omnivores-predators is moderately inhibited under CT treatment; while,under FF treatment total nematodes is mildly,and fungivores and plant parasites are moderately stimulated,respectively.展开更多
