The existence of soil mesofauna has depended on energy sources such as organic matter and living biomass associated with carbon cycle flow in the soil. This study aims to identify the abundance and diversity of soil mesofauna in three types of land use in Bogor, West Java. Soil sampling has been carried out at 5 sample locations on forest, garden and dry land use types. Soil mesofauna extraction for each type of land use has used the method called tulgren, kempson extractor, and pitfall traps. The greatest abundance of soil mesofauna has been found in the type of upland land extracted using the litter kempson method with a density of 835 individuals /m2 . The highest diversity index of soil mesofauna has been found in the type of forest land use.
