The diversity and distribution of soil nematodes were studied in Prusias ad Hypium (Konuralp) Ancient City, D??zce (T??rkiye) in 2021. A total of 1.388 individuals were discovered within 17 families, 25 genera and 30 species. Species richness and the nematode abundance show closely related distribution at each ecological characteristic and the number of species reaches a maximum where low disturbance of soil is observed. Nematodes feeding with bacteria are dominating the total community (53%) in all sampling sites, followed by omnivorous (31.6%), plant parasitic (6%), and nematodes Duzce University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, Duzce, Turkiye This study was supported by Duzce University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, Duzce, Turkiye
