  abstract = {{T}he soil macrofaunal communities ({L}umbricidae, {F}ormicidae, {C}oleoptera, {C}hilopoda, {D}iplopoda, {I}sopoda, {A}rachnida, {G}astropoda) were studied in six plots representing different stages in theoretical post-pastoral succession chalk grassland. {M}acrofaunal biomass was high in all the plots (70.2-140.3 g/m2). {T}he macroinvertebrate communities along successional gradients respond to two major environmental factors : the structure of the vegetation, which determines the diversity of microhabitats and life conditions for macroinvertebrates ; and the quality of above-ground litter production, which depends on the nature of vegetation and the presence of domestic herbivores.
