Soil fauna contribute valuable ecosystem functions in forest and grasslands. The present study focused on Oribatid mite distribution patterns from the Mukurthi National Park, Western Ghats, India. The recent studies of mites and other arthropods in natural environments are considered with less priority. Concerning studies of mite community structures in forest fragments, few important studies were developed in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. In order to study the diversity and abundance of Oribatid mites, soil samplings were carried out during four seasons in 25 study plots of five major study sites namely 1. High altitude Grasslands, 2.Pine plantations, 3.Deciduous forest, 4.Shola forest and 5.Thorn forest. Among the total of 46 species belonging to 20 genera across 19 families was recorded, Highest abundance with 1233 individuals/500g soil of oribatid mites was observed in Shola forest and less abundance was observed in Thorny forest with 373 individuals/500 g soil. The analysis was done using statistical software SPSS 20.0 and PAST. As the result holds the significant effects on diversity of mites in the study area by the edaphic factors, anthropogenic activities may be reduced and conservation measures need to be with high priority.
