Sampling for regional monitoring of nematode communities in agricultural soils.
Regional assessment of nematode communities to monitor the condition or ecological health of agricultural soils requires sampling programs with measures of known reliability and the ability to detect differences over time. Numbers of fields sampled in a region, samples taken per field, and subsamples assayed per sample must be balanced with cost to provide the best sampling scheme. We used comp...
متن کاملSampling natural viral communities from soil for culture-independent analyses.
An essential first step in investigations of viruses in soil is the evaluation of viral recovery methods suitable for subsequent culture-independent analyses. In this study, four elution buffers (10% beef extract, 250 mM glycine buffer, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, and 1% potassium citrate) and three enumeration techniques (plaque assay, epifluorescence microscopy [EFM], and transmission electro...
متن کاملAbiotic Soil Factors and Plant-parasitic Nematode Communities.
A natural community of plant-parasitic nematodes is usually polyspecific. The host plant is the most important driving force in nematode populations, but abiotic factors are important in maintaining the steady state. Nematode communities often separate by abiotic soil factors. In any continuous habitat, including crop plants, generally there is a consistency of the most abundant species, which ...
متن کاملEffect of soil disturbance and biocides on nematode communities and extracellular enzyme activity in soybean cyst nematode suppressive soil
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, remains a major yield-limiting pathogen of soybean. Natural suppression of SCN exists and becomes increasingly attractive; however, ecological mechanisms leading to the suppressive state are rarely studied. A glasshouse experiment was performed to determine the effects of soil disturbance and biocides on nematode community and extracellular enzy...
متن کاملComposition of Cultivatable Methylotrophic Communities through a Soil Depth Profile
ABSTACT: Methylotrophy is the ability of microorganisms to utilize single carbon compounds such as methanol (CH3OH), the second most abundant organic compound in the atmosphere. Methylotrophs have been recognized as the main drivers of methane fluxes, but their role with methanol fluxes have been overlooked. Understanding methanol degraders such as methylotrophs can help better our understandin...
