Distribution pattern of soil nematode communities along an elevational gradient in arid and semi-arid mountains of Northwest China.

Overall, the relative abundance of bacterivore nematodes and plant parasites increased with elevation, showing an increasing trend; the relative abundance of omnivores-predators was the opposite of that of bacterivore nematodes, decreasing with elevation; and the relative abundance of fungivore nematodes was in a “humpback pattern”, with a low-high-low pattern, with a maximum at E3. 3.3.

The number of nematodes exhibited a decreasing trend along the elevation gradient for all soil layers, with the order E1 > E2 > E3 > E4.
