Abstract:

An investigation of soil fauna was carried out in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort plantation. The average density of soil fauna was 3.13×104 ind/m2, belonging to 3 phyla, 8 classes, and 16 orders. The density of soil fauna and group numbers in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort field was lower than that in vegetable filed. The densities of omnivorous and saprozoic soil fauna in vegetable filed were significantly higher than those in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort field(P<0.05), but the densities of the predators and phytophaga were lower(P<0.05). The values of DG and C indexes in vegetable filed were higher than those in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort field, but the values of J and H' were lower.

Key words: Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, soil fauna, community
