The soil macrofauna community was assessed along a transect including 13 sampling points from the inside of the forest (60 m from border) out toward the neighboring recently-harvested soybean plantation (up to 60 m from border). Sampling was performed in April 2004 at the Fazenda São Paulo, near Cornélio Procópio, Paraná state, Brazil, using the standard methodology of the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Programme (TSBF). Monoliths were hand-sorted for all litter and soil-dwelling taxa (down to 30 cm depth), and the abundance of a total of 42 taxa assessed.
