线虫组合是评估淹没土壤、临时淹没土壤和陆地土壤质量以及开发生态类型学和生物监测系统的潜在工具。到目前为止，对物理或污染引起的干扰的解释主要是基于多样性、优势度模式或多毛虫(Adenophorea)百分比的变化。基于线虫动物群的成熟度指数被认为是衡量土壤生态系统状况的指标。对于发生在荷兰的线虫，给出了殖民者/持久者尺度上的值。通过对一些文献数据的回溯性解释，证明了使用该指数的可能性。讨论了线虫在环境研究中的应用。
Nematode assemblages constitute a potential instrument for assessing the quality of submersed, temporarily submersed, and terrestrial soils and for the development of an ecological typology and biomonitoring system. Interpretation of physical or pollution-induced disturbances has hitherto mainly been based on changes in diversity, dominance patterns or percentage of dorylaimids (Adenophorea). The maturity index, based on the nematode fauna, is proposed as a gauge of the condition of the soil ecosystem. Values on a coloniser/persister scale are given for nematodes that occur in The Netherlands. The possibilities of the use of this index are demonstrated by a retrospective interpretation of some literature data. The use of nematodes in environmental studies is discussed.
