Popis: The native forest area in the Brazilian Cerrado has been replaced by agro-ecosystems and is considered the last agricultural frontier of the country. Thus, the use of sustainable agro-ecosystems can minimize damage to the environment. To assess the sustainability of these systems, there are several types of indicators, including physical, chemical, and biological. Among the biological indicators are nematodes. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate nematodes as bio-indicators of disturbance during the establishment of a crop-livestock-forest integrated system (iCLF). Ten farming systems were evaluated (Forest, Crop, Livestock, Crop-Livestock, Livestock-Crop, Crop-Forest, Livestock-Forest, three different Crop-Livestock-Forest, Native Forest, and Spontaneous Vegetation). A native forested area and a spontaneous vegetation area were used as controls (stable environments). Samples were taken at the establishment of the systems and another during the crop season of the second year. The nematode communities were evaluated using total and relative abundance, Shannon-Weaver and Simpson?s diversity indexes and evenness, a wealth index (D), a maturity index (MI), a modified maturity index (MMI), a 2-5 maturity index (MI2-5), and a plant parasite index (PPI). The data were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5% (P
