Projectomschrijving
Nematodes are often used as bioindicators and the nematode diversity and density in mature compost will be important to build a solid soilfoodweb. In this research 3 main sections will be investigated: 1) the biodiversity of the nematodes during the composting process, 2) the nematode population dynamics during this proces and 3) if and how the nematode composition reflects the condition of the compost process.
