Soil macrofauna communities were evaluated in an organic grain (soybean) crop production system at the farm run by the Associação Filantrópica Lar São Francisco (HUMANITAS) in São Jerônimo da Serra, Paraná, Brazil. Sampling was performed in April 2003 in an area planted with soybean under conventional tillage and another area planted with no-tillage system for two years. Samples were taken using the standard methodology of the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Programme (TSBF), where soil (down to 30 cm depth) and litter fauna were hand-sorted from monoliths of 25x25 cm, and the abundance of a total of 42 taxa was assessed.Taxonomic Coverages
