We investigated the variation patterns of density biomass and diversities of detritivore macrofauna throughout this rotation. Multivariate analyses were carried out to identify the main covariation patterns between species and some properties of their physical environment and to describe the main ecological gradients constraining the macro-invertebrate community assembly. A total of 6 earthworm 6 woodlouse and 7 millipede species were found in the whole data set. Density biomass and diversity were profoundly influenced by forest ageing mainly because of variation in humic epipedon spatial variability. Three groups of species were identified according to their environmental requirements. Some hypotheses regarding the external related to management practices or internal related to inter-specific interactions assembly rules behind species assemblages are proposed an approach which has rarely been used in soil ecology. Finally the impact of forestry practices on soil functioning through their impact on detritivore macro-invertebrate communities is discussed. soil detritivore macrofauna community ecology assembly rules humic epipedon forest management Résumé - Les assemblages de macro-invertébrés détritivores du sol d une rotation de futaie de hêtre.
