For the evaluation ofmacro and soil mesofaunal hypogaeic were collected soil blocks of 20 x 20x 10 cm, being collected, first, the wholeplant residue on the soil surface. Soil and litter were placed in Berlese funnels for seven days, and the pitfallsremained in the field for72 hours. Measured to the abundance, richness, diversity of soil animals and functionalgroups. Finally, one concludes that the times of collection influence the abundance of wild life and diversity ofgroups; the collected groups of the faunal collected are present in all management systems with coffee, theexception of the parasitoids group; in traps pitfall total wealth groups is higher in relation to soil-littercompartments, the family Formicidae and microphage are the dominant in agroecosystems evaluated. %K Diversity %K pitfall %K functional groups %K litter %U http://revista.uft.edu.br/index.php/JBB/article/view/263/183
