Annotation	The soil saprophagous macrofauna consisting of Lumbricidae, Oniscidea and Diplopoda in the Biebrza River floodplain was studied in natural ecological zones determined by seasonal flooding and fluctuations in river-induced groundwater levels. Five habitats along a zonal gradient were sampled: reeds, tall-sedge, mineral hillock, moss-sedge and swamp alder wood. General ecological parameters: abundance, species richness, alpha-diversity, evenness, beta-diversity and similarity, were measured for all the assemblages of each the groups studied and the whole group of macrosaprophages. The assemblage in the swamp alder wood was the most diverse and best developed in terms of dominance structure and may be a refuge for soil macrofauna. The most specific and poor in species was the assemblage recorded for the mineral hillock, which is isolated from that in the surrounding habitats that are subjected to flooding.
