KEANEKARAGAMAN ARTHROPODA PERMUKAAN TANAH DI HUTAN LINDUNG DAN TAMAN WISATA ALAM KERANDANGAN LOMBOK BARAT

Abstract

Abstract
The aim of this research were to study the diversity of soil Arthropods in Kerandangan
Protected Forest and Natural Park; and to know the influence of environmental factors
(physical and soil chemistry) on the abudance of soil Arthropods. This research was
conducted in Kerandangan Protected Forest and Natural Park. Soil arthropods were gathered
by PSM (metode perangkap sumuran/pitting trap method) and PCT (metode pencuplikan
tanah/soil sampling method).Identification to the artrophods captured by these methods was
determined until ordo level of classification, while data analysis was done by the use of Hill
Biodiversity Index. Soil Arthropods class that obtained by using PSM method are 5 classes
and by PCT method are 6 classes. The total taxa of soil arthropods that obtained by using
PSM method was 25 taxa and by PCT method was 29 taxa. Formicidae, Hymenoptera other,
Colembolla, Orthtoptera, Dermaptera weresoil Arthropod groups which are the most abundant
and found in almost every location with PSM method. The Taxa obtained by PCT method
were Acari, Hexapoda larva and Coleoptera.
