Keanekaragaman Makrofauna Dan Mesofauna Tanah Pada Tegakan Ekaliptus Dan Akasia Di Kampus Bina Widya Universitas Riau
Soil is a medium for growing plants and a habitat for various soil organisms. The population of soil fauna, such as macrofauna and mesofauna, is also affected by the number and species of plants growing on the soil surface. Based on reference studies, various soil macrofauna and mesofauna investigations have been conducted in different vegetation and areas. This study aimed to determine the diversity of macrofauna and mesofauna in eucalyptus and acacia stands on the Bina Widya Campus at Riau University. The research employed purposive sampling, a technique for selecting samples based on specific considerations. Samples were collected using pitfall traps. The results showed that 564 soil macrofauna individuals were found in acacia stands, representing 13 species from 7 families and 6 orders. Additionally, 658 soil macrofauna individuals were found in eucalyptus stands, representing 12 species from 6 families and 5 orders. For soil mesofauna, 21 individuals belonging to 5 species from 3 families and 2 orders were found in acacia stands, while 17 individuals of 5 species from 4 families and 2 orders were found in eucalyptus stands. The diversity index in acacia stands was 2.17 (medium), while in eucalyptus stands, it was 1.82 (medium).
