Macrofaunal biomass was high in all the plots (70.2-140.3 g/m2). The 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.
