Abstract Objective We explored the effect of different land uses on soil macro fauna species richness, abundance and diversity in Mount Elgon areas Kween District, Uganda. Results Species richness was higher subsurface than belowground. A total 647 individuals both belowground were identified from uses. Macro significantly varied across five (H=10.1, d.f.=4, p=0.04). The average (0.71) that (0.20). highest found intercrop maize-beans followed by natural vegetation. Maize monocrop had least...
