Abstract: Secondary succession of soil animal community in tropical littoral eroded land and its development process might be divided into three stages: aggradation, transition and steady state. The last stage will be arrived after about 20 years.The succession dynamics for various animal groups are.a)Individuals of hygrocolous microfauna increased quickly during aggradation stage, and decreased slightly during transition stage; b) Unstable groups of insects decreased gradually; c) Termites increased to a highest level in the earlier aggradation stage, then decreased and kept at a lower level;d) Earthworns appeared in the later stage of aggradation, then developed quickly and became a dominant group.
