Resumen: This presentation explores the role of soil microbial and nematode
communities as bioindicators of soil health under varying agricultural
practices. Through field and laboratory studies, we assess how organic
amendments, microbial inoculants, and treated wastewater irrigation
influence soil biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem resilience.
Key findings reveal that sustainable management practices enhance microbial
activity and nematode diversity, directly correlating with improved soil
fertility and crop productivity. These insights provide strategies for
optimizing agricultural sustainability while maintaining soil ecological
balance.

El Dr. Nikolaos Monokrousos is an Associate Professor in Soil Ecology at
the University Center of International Programmes of Studies, at the
International Hellenic University. Before joining IHU he was a researcher
at the Institute of Soil and Water Resources of the Hellenic Agricultural
Organization – Demeter. He is active in the field of Soil Ecology for over
20 years and his research interests are focused on the study of the soil
microbial and free-living nematode community structure and functionality,
the soil enzyme activity, and their role in soil organic matter
decomposition and nutrient cycling. His research is aiming to study
in-depth the diversity, relations, and interactions of organisms that
belong to different levels of soil food. His goal is to better understand
how agricultural management practices (use of microbial inoculants, organic
nematicides, organic residues, irrigation with sewage treated wastewater)
affect soil microorganisms and free-living nematodes (indicators of soil
health) and to improve soil functions, optimizing agricultural productivity
and sustainability. Investigating the resilience and resistance of soil
biota after any type of disturbance, related to agricultural practices, is
also part of his research. Dr. Monokrousos has published 80 research papers
in international peer-reviewed journals and has participated in several
national and international projects.
