Abstract
Changes land use in the super-wet tropical rainforest area has resulted in changes pattern of soil fauna food webs that show the diversity of ecosystems. Various soil biodiversity studies tend to prioritize the diversity of soil fauna, without examining how changes in the pattern of food flow are running. The results showed that the abundance of the highest number of functional individuals of soil fauna in each type of land was predator. The diversity of functional types of soil fauna in forest and mixed gardens is also dominated by predators and on open area types and monoculture gardens dominated by herbivorees. While the parasitoid and detritivore groups were spread evenly on each type of land. This shows that the pattern of food webs in each land type of super wet tropical rainforest area reaches a balance in the type of forest and mixed gardens and begins to be disrupted in open area and monoculture gardens. The highest trophic level of food webs is the main controller of ecosystem balance. Changes in vegetation type of land in super wet tropical rain forest area will cause fragmentation of functional habitat of soil fauna which causes imbalance of energy flow in food webs.
