摘要: Abstract We have examined the ecological implications of vertical distribution nematodes in anaerobic salt marsh sediments. High belowground productivity Spartina alterniflora results a high detrital component soils. Nematodes are evolutionarily adapted to these soils and important transfer energy from detritus other consumers. The pathway sediments, however, is not same as carbon cycle aerobic A new concept pathways involving presented, which links components ecosystem. Export S. with pelagic food web discussed.
