PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Plant communities may impose strong control on soil fauna populations. We compared and examined patterns of earthworm abundance, species composition, and distribution pattern of earthworms in tree plantations and secondary forests of Puerto Rico. Our results indicate that variation in plant species composition and soil properties between plant communities can trigger differences in earthworm abundance and distribution pattern within a tropical wet forest.
