Soil nematodes quantification and classification under long-term HDPE mulch application in a Vaccinium virgatum plantation

Quantification and classification of soil nematodes by trophic group in a long-term field experiment assessing the effects of HDPE mulch application in a Vaccinium virgatum (‘Centra Blue’) plantation in southern Portugal. Nematodes were extracted from fresh soil samples and classified as Aphelenchus sp. (fungivores), Dorylaimida (omnivores), and Rhabditida (bacterivores)
