The present research work was carried out during the austral summer of January-February 2005, in different localities of Schimarcher Oasis to understand the faunal diversity of soils and moss inhabiting invertebrate fauna along with some physico-chemical parameters like soil temperature and relative humidity. In this study, 5 species of Protozoa, 5 species of Nematoda, 2 species of Collembola, 5 species of Mites and 1 species of Rotifera including some new records from Schirmacher Oasis are being reported. During the present study, one hundred samples were collected from different areas in the Schirmacher Oasis. Five microscopic invertebrate fauna (microbial fauna ? microbial flora is heard not microbial fauna. These are not microbial but microscopic fauna) were collected from this area such as Protozoa, Nematode, Rotifera, Collembolla and Mites from 15 different sites.
