Fragmented forests is the dominant environment in the tropical landscape, and to the success of any conservation and recovery, it is necessary to evaluate and interpret the degree of degradation of these fragments. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the springtails epigean and mycorrhizal fungi as indicators of degradation in forest fragments slopes of hillocks. The study was conducted in four forest fragments in the basins of rivers Macacu and Caceribu, Itaboraí (RJ). As forest fragments are in hillocks, collections were made in the upper, middle and lower thirds, in dry and wet seasons of year. The community of springtails and AMF used as indicators of degradation, even occupying different vertical soil strata, converged directly and indirectly to the same end, pointing the P1 as the most conserved among forest fragments analyzed and the potential to be used as reference designs recovery of degraded areas.
