Abstract

This study examines soil mesofauna and macrofauna as bioindicators of soil health and ecological integrity across three land-use systems: oil palm plantations, open lands, and bamboo forests. Land-use change increasingly threatens soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in tropical regions, where soil organisms are key to nutrient cycling, aggregation, and ecological resilience. Understanding how land use influences soil faunal communities is crucial for assessing belowground integrity. Despite their critical ecological roles, soil faunal indicators are rarely integrated into soil health assessments in tropical systems. Addressing this gap, this study compares soil mesofauna and macrofauna diversity across contrasting land uses to establish their potential as reliable bioindicators. Soil samples were collected from the surface layer (0–10 cm) using standardized coring under uniform topography, soil type, and climate. Systematic random sampling was applied, with mesofauna extracted using Berlese-Tullgren funnels and macrofauna extracted by manual hand-sorting following the TSBF method. Specimens were identified to the order level. Shannon-Wiener analysis showed that bamboo forests supported the most complex and functionally rich communities (mesofauna H′ = 1.498; macrofauna H′ = 0.309), followed by oil palm plantations and open lands. Acari and Collembola were dominant mesofauna sensitive to habitat quality, while Formicidae and Diplopoda reflected higher trophic and structural roles. Open lands exhibited low diversity and dominance of stress-tolerant taxa, indicating reduced ecological function. The integrated assessment of mesofauna and macrofauna provides a robust framework for evaluating soil health, highlighting vegetation complexity as a driver of nutrient cycling, aggregation, and microbial activity.

Abstract

Despite its significant economic value, tea cultivation in Indonesia is experiencing a continuous decline in plantation area, primarily due to changes in land use. Soil fertility degradation and reduced yields present a significant threat to the long-term sustainability of tea production. A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of tea plantation soil properties is essential for developing sustainable land management strategies aimed at enhancing and maintaining the productivity and sustainability of healthy tea cultivation. This study investigates the properties of Andosols formed from andesite tuff in a heavily managed tea plantation in Cisarua, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Four vertical soil profiles and ten composite soil samples were collected from depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm across varying tea vigor and slope class gradients in block plantations. The ongoing production of tea on Andosols has led to significant chemical decline, evidenced by decreased organic matter, increased acidity, reduced cation exchange capacity, and compromised andic properties. The observed rise in base saturation primarily indicates a reduction in CEC, rather than an improvement in fertility. The observed patterns indicate progressive soil weathering and reduced resilience in monoculture systems. Restorative management, which encompasses the incorporation of organic matter and a balanced nutrient supply, is essential for maintaining soil functionality and securing long-term tea productivity. This article synthesizes key findings regarding soil properties, anthropogenic impacts, and strategies for sustainable management. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing good soil management practices and enhancing tea productivity in volcanic areas.
