  abstract = {{B}ackground and aims {A}groecology practices can induce profound positive changes in soil physical and chemical properties, and inevitably influence soil biological properties and soil functioning. {H}owever, we still lack understanding of how soil biodiversity responds to agroecology practices and to what extent such practices, alone or combined, can be beneficial for soil functioning and ecosystem services. {U}nderstanding soil biological activities under different agroecology practices is important for predicting carbon cycling in agroecosystems. {M}ethods {B}y taking advantage of a long-term agricultural experimental research station in northern {F}rance, we monitored soil microbes, nematodes and soil respiration over three to five years in response to agroecology practices that varied in the rate of nitrogen ({N}) fertilization (low vs high), the tillage type (deep vs reduced), and the crop residue management (retain vs removal). {R}esults {S}hifting from conventional to agroecology practices had a strong effect on microbial biomass, nematode community and soil respiration. {S}pecifically, reduced {N} and reduced tillage significantly increased microbial biomass carbon, bacterivore and fungivore density. {P}erennial biomass crop significantly decreased total nematode density and herbivore density, but increased microbial biomass carbon. {P}erennial biomass crop also significantly increased the structure and maturity index, but decreased the plant parasite index. {S}tructural equation modelling showed that microbial biomass carbon had a positive correlation with soil respiration in reduced nitrogen, reduced tillage, and residue removal treatments. {B}acterivores had a positive correlation with omnivores/predators and soil respiration, while herbivores had a negative correlation with soil respiration in all the treatments. {C}onclusions {T}he different agroecological practices tested in this 5-year trial revealed the resilience of nematode communities and associated functions like {CO}2 respiration according to practices.},
