Abstract
Soil mesofauna was sampled in the rainy season (October 2018) and dry season (April 2019) from two typical habitats (seasonally submerged lands and seasonally unsubmerged lands) in Tram Chim National Park. As a result, a total of 42 species belonging to 32 genera in 28 families were recorded in that area. Of these animals, spider was the most diverse group with 24 species, followed by land snails and centipedes (each with six species), millipedes (four species) and earthworms (only two species). In particular, of which six spider and milipede species (belonging to six genera Hirudicryptus, Amaurobius, Hypsosinga, Chalcoscirtus, Orthobula, Bassaniana) were recorded firstly in Vietnam. In terms of distribution, there are no differences in species diversity between the two seasons, but there are significant differences in the number of species, the diversity index, and species composition between two habitats. It is suggested that soil huminity, pH and organic matter contents may be important factors influencing the distribution of soil mesofauna in Tram Chim National Park.
