For eight species of Central Amazonia representing the different food guilds (wood feeders, humus feeders, leaf harvesters and generalists) the respiration rates as indicator of their turnover potential were determined with an Infrared Gas Absorption. Over a period of ten months, the presence of subterranean species was investigated with monitoring stations which contained different bait substrates in three different forest systems: a wood plantation, a secondary forest and a primary forest. Preliminary data indicate that representatives of all food guilds were encountered in the primary forest plots, but not in the secondary forest and in the plantations. The total absence of some food-guilds in the plantations indicates that organic matter decomposition may undergo different pathways in these plots.  acarbon dioxide  aorganic matter  aCupim  aDióxido de Carbono  aFloresta Tropical Úmida  aMatéria Orgânica  aTermitidae  aAmazonas  aBrasil  aIsopteras  aManaus  aTropical rain forest1 aMARTIUS, C.  tIn: SHIFT - WORKSHOP, 3., 1998, Manaus.
