The results of scientific investigations in specifying
environmental and faunal composition of soil
invertebrates at agricultural landscapes of steppe zone
of the Krasnodar region are presented this article.
Observed territory is represented with four main
classes of animals: Insecta (insects), Crustacea
(cancroid), Myriapoda (myriapod), Olygochaeta
(worms with small bristles). Those animals were the
subject of further descriptions of territory. Some
peculiarities and regularities of quantity and taxonomic
compound of mesofauna, depending on technological
methods that are being used for cultivation of
agricultural crops in experimental farming JSC
“Zavety Il’icha” of the Leningrad district, are
considered. The observed area is mostly populated
with soil inhabitants (68,7%) that include such families
as Geophilomorpha (geofila), Lithobiomorpha
(drupes), Julidae (millipede), Enchytraeidae,
Lumbricidae (earth worms). It was found that the use
of complex compost (as an alternate method of
cultivating the winter wheat and the sugar beet) has a
positive impact on a biological activity of ordinary
chernozem. The introduction of complex compost
optimized the ecological state of agrolandscape
system, which is associated with activation of biophilic
elements at upper soil layer. An upgrade of soil
structure, water-holding capacity and agrochemical
properties creates enabling environment for the vital
activity of invertebrates and for their trophic
cooperation with the habitats
