  abstract = {{B}y increasing landscape patchiness and habitat loss, urbanization threatens biodiversity. {I}ts adverse effects may be mitigated by urban parks, in which conditions that promote structural and functional biodiversity contribute to preserve ecosystem processes. {T}herefore, deep knowledge of urban park biodiversity and of patterns driving species assemblages is required, especially for soil communities which are understudied. {T}his study, conducted in public parks in {M}ontpellier ({S}outhern {F}rance), is the first one examining the impact of landscape patterns on {C}ollembola communities. {M}oreover, soil abiotic properties were analyzed to examine how local factors drive species assemblages in different landscape types. {T}he results of the study highlighted that {C}ollembola community structure is affected by landscape patterns. {S}pecifically, {C}ollembola communities with species-abundance structures typical of late successional stages were found within woody landscapes, whereas those with early successional stage structures were observed in wide turf patches surrounded by other vegetation covers. {W}hen turf patches become small and isolated, homogenization was observed in {C}ollembola community composition. {F}rom the perspective of urban park planning, managers should consider limiting landscape fragmentation (i.e. interspersion and configuration of impervious surfaces) and preserving landscape diversity (especially through woody vegetation patches). {T}hese may promote the development of diverse and structured {C}ollembola communities, indicators of the overall soil quality.},
