Description

The soil macrofauna community was assessed in a long-term crop rotation experiment established in 1985 at the Coamo Agroindustrial Cooperativa experimental farm in Campo Mourão, Paraná state, Brazil. The experiment includes several rotations all of which are planted using the no-tillage system, though only four rotation systems were evaluated: maize-oats/ soybean-maize-millet/soybean-maize/soybean-wheat (Tr3), maize-lupine/soybean-oats/soybean-wheat/soybean-wheat (Tr4), maize-hairy vetch/maize-maize-millet/soybean-maize/soybean-wheat (Tr8) and soybean-wheat continuous double cropping (Tr11). The experiment was replicated four times, and one sample taken in each plot. Sampling was performed in April 2004, 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.
