Soil food webs are important in maintaining agricultural productivity and ecosystem health. However, our understanding is still limited with respect to the influences of tillage transitions on soil food webs. The present study aimed to quantify the response of microflora and microfauna, and their linkage to different tillage treatments: no tillage (NT), ridge tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT). Soil samples were collected from 0 to 20 cm depth in April of 2011 after 10 years of conservation tillage. The abundance and richness of bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were greater in NT and RT than in CT. In case of microfauna also, similar patterns were observed with greater protozoa, bacterivores and omnivores-carnivores in NT and RT compared to CT. The connectance of the bacterial and predator-prey pathways was greater in NT and RT than in CT and that of fungal pathway was greatest in RT. The trophic relationship of the bacterial and predator-prey pathways was strengthened due to the higher water content of soil and the lower NO3--N after the conversion of CT to NT and RT. Our study suggested that 10 years of conservation tillage can effectively enhance the structure and function of soil food webs through bottom-up effects in the black soil region of Northeast China.
