A.  aThe nematodes communities associated to different vegetable formations in the Restinga of Marambaia RJ, Brazil.  c2008  aRestingas are a group of the vegetable communities, with different physiognomies, under sea and fluvio influence. These communities, distributed in mosaic, are found in areas of great ecological diversity being considered edafics communities as they depend more on the nature of the soil than that of the climate. The nematodes community?s structure offers an important and efficient instrument for biological evaluation of the quality and functionality of the soils. Soil nematodes not only reflect the soil processes but also influence it. Nematodes community?s indexes can be used to monitor the ecological conditions of the soil. The Objective of this work was to evaluate the nematode?s community in relation to the different vegetable formations in the Restinga da Marambaia. The nematologic fauna was monitored in the Restinga, coast south of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The samples were taken in July of 2006 (scarce rains in the winter) in three vegetable physiognomies: (A) herbaceous vegetation of sandy string (homogeneous habitat), (B) Shrublayer open non swamp and (C) forest of sandy string (heterogeneous habitats). The composed sample was collected at 20 cm of depth in zig-zag, with six points from representative vegetable areas. For nematodes extraction it was used the flotation-centrifugation. The identification was done under microscope, up to the gender category, being used of the vast literature on the theme. The Abundance was Calculated (number ind. / 100 ml soil), it Structures Trophic and the indexes: Shannon (H?), Simpson (D) and evenness (J´), maturity (MI), enrichment (MI2-5) and parasitism (PPI). Ten genus and one family were identified. 6 genus were described in A and B and 5 in C, and the density of the nematodes was of 20, 26, 49 ind.100ml-1 of soil respectively. There were more individuals plant feeders in the most heterogeneous environment (C) than in A and B (100, 90 and 89%). It was determined in the most homogeneous environment the largest presence of Hemycicliophora (70%) in A, Dolichodorus (32%), Criconemela (26%) and Dorylaimellus (21%) in B, and Criconema (50%) in the most heterogeneous environment (C). B presented H? 1,56; J (0,87) and D (0,21). The area C presented larger D (0,86) due to the high presence of Criconema, and the environment A presented intermediate values of the indexes. MIs were larger for A and B. In the case of C MI it was zero, for only to present nematodes plant feeders, being larger IPP. Shrublayer open non swamp (B) was determined as the more stable environment by presenting larger diversity, evenness and index of maturity modified (ÓMI).1 aOLIVEIRA, C. P. de1 aSOUZA, N.
