Land-use change is one of the greatest challenges for natural ecosystem services. Soil microbiomes are essential for modulating multiple ecosystem functions. However, little is known about the impact of land-use changes on soil microbial communities and their associated soil functions. In this study, 150 alpine soil samples representing conversion of forests to shrublands or grasslands, and of shrublands to grasslands were investigated for bacterial, fungal and protistan community diversity, co-occurrence network, as well as their relationships with soil multifunctionality via a sampling strategy of space-for-time substitution. The conversion of forest to grassland increased the diversity of fungi and bacteria, and altered the microbial community structures of bacteria, fungi and protists, resulting a greater impact on soil microbiome than other land-use conversions. Cross-trophic interaction analyses demonstrated this conversion increased microbial network complexity and robustness, whereas forest to shrubland had the opposite trend. The land-use induced changes in soil multifunctionality were related with microbial network modules, but were not always associated with variations of microbial diversity. Random forest modeling further suggested the significant role of microbial modules in explaining soil multifunctionality, together with environmental factors. These findings indicate divergent responses of belowground multitrophic organisms to land-use changes, and the potential role of microbial module in forecasting soil multifunctionality.
