Abstract
Numerically the nematodes are among the most important elements of the soil fauna. To evaluate their role in the economy of the soil, however, it is necessary to investigate their food relations and to convert the results of numerical sampling into biomass and respiration estimates. The present paper describes an attempt to do this for a British moorland habitat. The study area was an upland moor, the Moor House National Nature Reserve in the north Pennines. Details of this Reserve (Nat. Grid Ref. 35/758329) have been given by Conway (1955) and Cragg (1961) and salient features of the main sampling sites are given in Table 1.
