ABSTRACT
Bush encroachment, characterized by increase in woody plants in ecosystems, is one of the manifestations of environmental degradation that is prevalent in many parts of Namibia. The present study was conducted in Ben Hur area in the Omaheke Region, about 60 km South-East of Gobabis with the objectives of comparing family diversity, abundance and composition of ground dwelling invertebrates in habitats that are at different levels of bush encroachment and determining their seasonal variation. Data on the seasonal variation in family diversity, abundance and composition of ground dwelling invertebrates were collected at three sites with vegetation that was denoted normal savanna (NSV) site, intermediate bush encroached (IBE) site and a highly bush encroached (HBE) site. Statistical test using One way ANOVA confirmed that there was a significant difference in the woody plants densities among the three study sites (F= 37.79, df=2 and p
