| Abstract | Changes in below-ground nematode communities, in terms of abundance, diversity and trophic structure and the composition of the community in terms of sex bias and adult:juvenile ratio were related to edaphic factors from sites that represented a known sand dune succession. Nematode abundance increased along a 1-km transect from sandy beach (no vegetation cover, early successional stage) through active dune systems [Ammophila arenaria (L.) and Leymus arenarius (L.) dominated] to mature dunes (heath covered, mature successional stage). Furthermore, as the succession progressed, the adult nematode sex ratio changed from male biased to highly female biased. Consequently, the adult:juvenile ratio decreased as the nematode community became more female dominated. An assessment of nematode diversity using both univariate and multivariate analysis produced contradictory results. The univariate indices, Shannon-Weaver and evenness, were significantly lower (P<0.05) at the dune heath than the other sites whereas the maturity index was significantly lower (P<0.05) at the beach site. Multivariate analysis clearly separated the beach and dune heath samples from the other samples and each other, and to a lesser extent separated the fore dune samples from the grey and yellow dune. Omnivorous nematodes represented the largest trophic component of the nematode community in all successional stages of the terrestrial sites. Epistrate/epigrowth feeders represented ca. 80% of the nematode community at the beach site. A trend was apparent of increasing numbers of omnivorous nematodes along the succession in relation to increasing organic matter and/or litter accumulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
