Abstract
The research regarding Collembola on Bungo District was conducted from February to July 2014. The purpose of this study was to know Collembola Diversity in the soil of the three types of land used (secondary forest, rubber plantation and palm plantation). This study used a purposive sampling method with soil drill having 4 cm diameter. The highest diversity on three types of land use is on rubber plantation and the lowest is on secondary forest. Family Entomobryidae (Ascocyrtus sp.) has the highest number of species as well as the highest percentage of all species.
Highlights
Soil is the living place for soil organisms
Collembola used for disease controller on some plants, example: Protaphorura armata has function of controlling diseases on the root of wheat plant that are infected by Fusarium culmorum and Gaeumannomyces graminis var tritici[8]
Beacuse there is less information about Collembola in this area, this study is conducted with aim to know diversity of Collembola on soil at three different types of land used and which factor had significant effect to diversity of Collembola in this area
Summary
Soil organisms are indicator organism for good soil using decomposition process and energy flow. Collembola have different functions such as decomposition of soil organic compound and natural indicator[3], as a decomposer of toxic compound and keeping the natural dynamic ecosystem[9]. The presence of Collembola has width range in different areas Bungo district is an area where land rapidly change, for example, secondary forest change with rubber plantation and oil palm plantation. This is located in Jambi Province, Indonesia. Beacuse there is less information about Collembola in this area, this study is conducted with aim to know diversity of Collembola on soil at three different types of land used and which factor had significant effect to diversity of Collembola in this area
