    Abstract


    This study examined the differences in species composition and community structure of ground beetles among land use types of karst ecosystems in Huu Lien Nature Reserve (Lang Son Province). Pitfall traps were used to collect ground beetles. In total, 80 pitfall traps were established and distributed in four major types of land use comprising agricultural land, grassland, Acaciaplantations (10 years) and secondary forest (15 years). The study recorded 24 morphospecies of ground beetles from 477 trapped individuals. Agricultural land (maize field) had the highest abundance and species richness and a high level of diversity of ground beetles. The community structure of ground beetles significantly differed among the land uses. Particularly, the species ordination NMDS obviously separated the agricultural ground beetles from the forest communities. The litter layer significantly affected the community structure of ground beetles. The study found four ground-beetle species as bio-indicator species of the agricultural land based on the indicator value (IndVal), including: Pheropsophus jessoensis Morawitz, 1862, Chlaenius pleuroderusChaudoir, 1883, Harpalus indicusBates, 1891 and Chlaenius flavofemoratusLaporte, 1834.
