Soil Acarina and Collembola in Forest and Cultivated Land of Khasi Hills, Meghalaya

During the last decade considerable work has been done on the Indian soil fauna, and quite a number of reports exist on the soil fauna of North-East India with particular reference to Meghalaya (Reddy & Alfred 1977, 1978a, 1978b; Vatsauliya and Alfred 1980 ; Darlong & Alfred, 1982 ; Hattar & Alfred 1986 ; Paul & Alfred 1986). Most of these studies are confined to jhum cultivation and pine forest soils of Khasi Hills, Meghalaya, and as such there is hardly any work done on cultivated system from this region. The study was undertaken to compare the distribution and diversity of mesofauna with particular reference to Collembola and Acarina of pine forest soil and an adjacent cultivated land, for one annual cycle at four different soil depths.
