Species diversity in an ecosystem can indicate that an ecosystem is still good and natural and helps maintain the balance of an ecosystem. One example of an artificial ecosystem is a plantation. Plantations in Indonesia have existed since the 19th century, namely during the Dutch colonial government. The Dutch sent several plantation crops to various regions to increase economic interests, one of the plantation areas that existed since the Dutch colonial period was the tea plantation. Soil macrofauna plays a very large role in the process of carbon flow, nutrient redistribution, nutrient cycling, bioturbation and soil structure formation. Based on the description above, the purpose of this study uses observation and interview methods to determine the characteristics and diversity of macrofauna in the Wonosari Tea Plantation area, Lawang-Malang, East Java. It also aims to compare diversity in the area, where it is known that the diversity of a species affects ecosystem balance.
