Rainforest conversion to agricultural plantations such as rubber and oil palm in Indonesia is increasing in the last decades. In this thesis, I investigated effects of rainforest conversion to rubber and oil palm plantations in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. The study area serves as model region for investigating consequences of land-use changes on biodiversity, the channeling of energy through soil food webs and changes in trophic niches of one dominant group of soil mesofauna, Collembola. Collembola are among the most abundant arthropods inhabiting the belowground system sensitively responding to changes in vegetation and soil conditions. In Chapter 2, consequences of the conversion of rainforest into plantations on the channelling of energ...
