Abstract
Five years acidification of the soil due to artificial sulphuric acid rain did not significantly affect total number of nematodes. It did, h owever, change the community structure. In soil treated with sulphuric acid the number of nematode genera and species diversity were lower t han in the untreated soil. Sulphuric acid introduced into the soil eli minated predatory and omnivorous species of nematodes.
