R. aEpigeal fauna and soil chemical attributes in grazing and regeneration areas.h[electronic resource] c2017 aThe objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of natural pasture and spontaneous regeneration on soil chemical properties and epigeal fauna community using a secondary Atlantic Forest as reference. The study areas were located in Passa Vinte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. In each study area, pitfall traps were used to sample epigeal fauna in the dry and rainy seasons. Earth samples were collected at a depth of 0-5 cm in the dry and rainy seasons for analysis of chemical attributes. The pasture and regeneration areas showed an overall activity of epigeal fauna and functional groups similar to the forest area. However, the diversity evaluated by the Shannon and Pielou evenness indices and the total richness were lower than the observed in the forest. The best fertility attributes were observed in the forest and pasture areas. aland use aDiversity aForest fragments1 aPEREIRA, M. G.1 aSILVA, C. F. da1 aGOMES, J. H. G.1 aASSUNÇÃO, S. A.1 aSILVA, E.
