This paper focuses on the often overlooked, but fundamental
Abstract:
difference between (1) proving “forward” the effects of environmental or
anthropogenic impacts on soil nematode populations, and (2) inferring “backward”
the operation of such impacts in the soil from changes in nematode populations.
Numerical simulations are used to illustrate that the forward detection
of effects on nematode populations can be achieved with a standard sampling
design, whereas the backward prediction of an unknown impact from observations
on nematode populations requires extraordinary effort in order to obtain a
reasonable level of accuracy. It is concluded that in the majority of empirical
investigations, successful bio-indication is confined to the forward mode,
i.e., to analysing the biological and ecological consequences of known impacts.
