The purpose othe study was to determine the composition of macroarthropod associated with decaying oipalm biomass at three different types of soil and cluster them in feeding guild. This study used line transect method with five sampling units at each types of soil in the palm oil ecosystem oEndau Rompin, Pahang consist of clay, shallow peat and deep peat. The total number osampling units are 15 units (quadrats) and the sampling was conducted three times. A total o942 individuals from 14 orders and 38 families of macroarthropod were successfully sampled at Endau Rompin. This study obtained four classes of arthropod which are ArachnidsHexapods, Malacostraca and also Myriapods. Number of individuals of arthropods for each soil types were recorded which is from Clay soil (432 individuals; 12 orders; 30 families)shallow peat soil (386 individuals; 14 orders; 30 families) and deep peat soil registered (133 individuals; 9 orders; 18 families). Significant difference (?2 = 312.285, dk = 74, p <0.05between the types of soil and family of macroarthropods were identified. The two-way clusteanalysis identified 11 groups of communities of soil macroartropods based on their feeding guild. Omnivorous group (69%) were the highest group followed by predators (17.3%)scavengers (13.4%) and lastly phytophagous (0.3%). This study had able to identify communities of macroarthropod associated with decaying oil palm biomass at three differentypes of soil and cluster them to feeding guilds. This studies also managed to determine thaabundance of soil communities were based on the plant grid position along the plantation field. � 2018, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Press.
