  abstract = {{L}and use changes in the {A}mazon region strongly impact soil macroinvertebrate communities, which are recognized as major drivers of soil functions ({L}avelle et a{L}, 2006). {T}o explore these relations, we tested the hypotheses that (i) soil macrofauna communities respond to landscape changes and (ii) soil macrofauna and ecosystem services are linked. {W}e conducted a survey of macrofauna communities and indicators of ecosystem services at 270 sites in southern {C}olombia (department of {C}aqueta) and northern {B}razil (state of {P}ara), two areas of the {A}mazon where family agriculture dominates. {S}ites represented a variety of land use types: forests, fallows, annual or perennial crops, and pastures. {A}t each site we assessed soil macroinvertebrate density (18 taxonomic units) and the following ecosystem service indicators: soil and aboveground biomass carbon stock; water infiltration rate; aeration, drainage and water storage capacities based on pore-size distribution; soil chemical fertility; and soil aggregation. {S}ignificant covariation was observed between macrofauna communities and landscape metric data (co-inertia analysis: {RV} = 0.30, p < 0.01, {M}onte {C}arlo test) and between macrofauna communities and ecosystem service indicators (co-inertia analysis: {RV}= 0.35, p<0.01, {M}onte {C}arlo test). {P}oints located in pastures within 100 m of forest had greater macrofauna density and diversity than those located in pastures with no forest within 100 m ({W}ilcoxon rank sum test, p<0.01). {T}otal macroinvertebrate density was significantly correlated with macroporosity (r(2) = 0.42, p<0.01), as was the density of specific taxonomic groups: {C}hilopoda (r(2) =0.43, p <0.01), {I}soptera (r(2) =0.30, p<0.01), {D}iplopoda (r(2) =0.31, p <0.01), and {F}ormicidae (r(2) = 0.13, p<0.01). {T}otal macroinvertebrate density was also significantly correlated with available soil water (r(2) =0.38, p<0.01) as well as other soil-service indicators (but with r(2)<0.10). {R}esults demonstrate that landscape dynamics and composition affect soil macrofauna communities, and that soil macrofauna density is significantly correlated with soil services in deforested {A}mazonia, indicating that soil macrofauna have an engineering and/or indicator function.},
