Abstract
We studied the community fluctuations of benthic macroinvertebrates of forest fired area in Samcheok-si from 2001 to 2009. Total collected macroinvertebrates species were 18 belonging to 14 families, 8 orders, 3 classes, and 2 phyla in 2001, and 70 belonging to 40 families, 15 orders, 7 classes and 5 phyla in 2009 (9 years after the forest fire). During the first four years after the forest fire, dipteran insects were dominant, but after then, ephemeropteran insects have increased in abundance and richness. As time elapsed from the fire, dominance indices were decreasing, while species diversity, richness and species evenness indices were increasing.
