  abstract = {{T}he rapid expansion of perennial crops is a major threat to biodiversity in {S}outheast {A}sia. {T}he biodiversity losses related to the conversion of forest lands to oil palm or rubber plantations ({RP}) are well documented by recent studies. {H}owever, the impact of the conversion from intensively managed annual crops to perennial crops on soil biodiversity has not yet been addressed. {T}his study aims at assessing the impact on soil biodiversity of a) the short-term effect of land use conversion from cassava crop to {RP}, and b) the long-term effect of {RP} ageing. {S}oil biodiversity (bacterial, fungal and macrofaunal), microbial activities and pedoclimatic characteristics were measured over a chronosequence of 1-25 years old of {RP} compared to cassava fields, the former crop, in {T}hailand. {T}he conversion from cassava to young {RP} (1-3 yr) had a significant effect on microbial biomass and activities and fungal composition, but did not impact the bacterial and macrofaunal diversity. {T}his effect of land use conversion could be explained by the change in land management due to the cultivation of pineapple in the inter-row of the young {RP}. {C}anopy closure appeared to be the main driver of soil biota shifts, as most of the biotic parameters, composition, abundance and activities were significantly modified after 7 years of {RP}. {T}he changes of composition in older rubber plantations originated from the dominance of {T}richoderma (fungi), {F}irmicutes (bacteria), and earthworms. {O}ld rubber plantations (23-25 yr) harboured the highest microbial and macrofaunal biomass; however, they were also characterised by a significant decrease in bacterial richness. {T}he change in pedoclimatic conditions across the rubber chronosequence, i.e. increase in soil moisture, litter and organic carbon content, was a stronger driver of soil biota evolution than land use conversion. {T}he macrofaunal composition was more resistant to land use conversion than the bacterial composition, whereas the microbial biomass was sensitive to land use conversion, but showed resilience after 20 years. {H}owever, bacterial, fungal and macrofaunal diversity, macrofaunal and microbial biomass and microbial activities were all sensitive to {RP} ageing.},
