showed that sentinel taxa of soil invertebrates could be used as
bioindicators of forest management practices, but the importance
of indicator role might vary with different taxa level of soil fauna.
Specifically, some high trophic-level nematode genera such as
Eudorylaimus, Chrysonema, Iotonchus and Thornia were suppressed
significantly by understory removal and some nematode genera
such as Prismatolaimus, Eudorylaimus, Chrysonema, and Thornia and
one common mite genus Rhodacarus in high trophic-level were
enriched significantly by legume addition.
