On sloping lands a reduction of macroporosity and soil cover is likely to increase overland flow and erosion. This research was aimed at quantifying litter thickness earthworm populations and soil macroporosity in response to land use change in the Sumberjaya benchmark area (West Lampung) by comparing (a) remnant forest as a control (b) multistrata shaded coffee with fruit and timber trees as well as the nitrogen-fixing (Erythrina sububrams and/or Gliricidia sepium) as shade trees (c) shaded coffee with the same nitrogen-fixing Erythrina sububrams and/or Gliricidia sepium as shade trees (d) monoculture (sun) coffee. Plots were selected with a minimum age of 7 years in three slope classes: (a) flat (0-10o) (b) medium (10-30o) and (c) steep ( > 30o). The measurements were carried out in November 2001 to Juli 2002.
