    The document describes tables for collecting data on soil ecosystems at two different sites. Table 1 collects data on site characteristics like vegetation type, shade, soil properties. Table 2 collects data on larger soil macrofauna by order or group and their numbers at each location. Table 3 collects similar data for smaller macrofauna. Table 4 calculates the number of macrofauna orders/groups and individuals per liter of soil/litter at each location based on the results of Tables 2 and 3.
