Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Similar to the regional averages, the highest abundances of soil nematodes are found in boreal forests across North America, Scandinavia and Russia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many plant-parasitic nematodes feed on the roots of plants. The feeding process damages the plant’s root system and reduces the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients. Typical nematode damage symptoms are a reduction of root mass, a distortion of root structure and/or enlargement of the roots (Figure 6, 7, 8).
