This is especially true in rubber plantations, one of the most planted tree in tropical areas. We aimed to understand (1) how soil disturbances occurring during the rubber replanting phase affect the soil microbiome, (2) how agricultural practices combining legumes cover crops and tree logging residues shape community resilience and (3) how microbial responses vary across different edaphic contexts. In two plantations with distinct soil properties in Ivory Coast, soil microbial communities were surveyed every 6 months for 24 months after soil perturbation. Community structure, functioning and networks were described based on a 16S/18S rRNA gene investigation. Prokaryotes were generally more resistant to soil perturbation than microeukaryote communities. Prokaryotic resilience dynamics were faster than those of microeukaryotes, the latter being deeply modulated by cover treatments. These specific dynamics were exacerbated in the sandy site. Co-occurrence network modelling provided useful insights into microbial resilience trajectories. We argue that this tool should be more widely used to describe microbial community dynamics. Practices involving a combination of logging residues and legume cover crops have shown beneficial effects on the community resilience in the sandy site and appears as promising agroecological practices. However, the major influence of soil texture warns of the need to consider pedological context when designing pertinent agroecological practices. specialized Logging residues Microbial communities Resilience Rubber plantations Soil functioning COTE D'IVOIRE 074 076 88 1 13 [19 p.] 2025 0095-3628 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010092920 10.1007/s00248-025-02506-3 0095-3628 [F B010092920] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010092920 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2025-04/010092920.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2025-04-02 2026-06-12 fdi:010092920 fre
