Abstrakt:	The article focuses on a study examining the functional diversity and detritus soil food web of soil inhabiting nematodes in natural woodland dominated by Acacia nilotica L. The researchers applied Trophic diversity index (TDI) and Shannon-Weaver index (H) to address functional diversity and channel index (CI) for the food web. Findings revealed a high degree of positive correlation between population of dorylaims and maturity index (MI) and some degree of negative correlation existed between population of plant parasitic nematodes and MI.
