Namib Desert Welwitschia Soil Nematodes

Analysis of soil nematode communities (taxa present, abundance) for soil samples collected from under Welwitschia mirabilis plants and from adjacent interplant spaces at four field sites in the Namib Desert of Namibia. Several soil properties were also measured (moisture, organic matter, pH, electrical conductivity).

针对纳米比亚纳米布沙漠4个野外样地采集的百岁兰（Welwitschia mirabilis）植株下方及相邻植株间空地的土壤样本，开展土壤线虫群落（soil nematode communities）分析，分析内容涵盖群落现存类群与种群丰度；同时测定了多项土壤理化性质，包括土壤含水量、有机质、pH值及电导率。
