Abstract: The effect of free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) on soil nematode communities in a paddy-field ecosystem was conducted.27 families and 40 genera were observed in the nematode suspensions.The total numbers of nematodes,bacterivores,plant-parasites and omnivores-predators exhibited an increasing trend at the rice jointing stage.The numbers of fungivores were lower in the FACE plots than in the ambient plots at the jointing and earing stages.At the ripening stage,the numbers of omnivores-predators exhibited a decreasing trend.Two genera (Hirschmanniella,Boleodorus) of plant-parasites were sensitive to the elevated atmospheric CO2.
