  abstract = {{I}n {S}outh-{E}ast {A}sia, rapid land use changes in recent decades have raised concerns for biodiversity and soil conservation. {W}eeds provide many ecosystemic services for soil protection and support biodiversity, and could mitigate the negative effects of intensification. {W}e investigated the changes in weed assemblages and weed-soil interactions on a chronosequence from annual crops to mature rubber tree plantations. {W}e sampled five fields for each of four land uses in mountainous northern {T}hailand (rainfed upland rice, maize, young rubber tree ({RT}) intercropped with maize, and mature {RT}). {W}e characterized weed assemblages (abundance, richness) and soil properties (bulk density, water, carbon and nitrogen content). {R}ice had the most diverse and abundant weed assemblages. {W}eed assemblages differed between (i) rice, (ii) maize and young {RT} with maize and (iii) mature {RT}. {S}oil water content was the highest in mature {RT}. {O}ther soil properties varied strongly within and among fields, and did not vary significantly among land uses. {W}ater and nitrogen content increased overall with living soil cover but decreased with weed species richness in mature {RT}. {S}uch interactions could provide a basis for sustainable weeding practices favourable to soil and biodiversity conservation.},
