The use of land changes from peat swamp forest to palm oil or areca nut plantation. As result, it influences condition and species in an ecosystem, particularly one of species affected is soil arthropods communities. Soil arthropods were selected because they have sensitivity to environmental change so it could be made as bioindicator. The purposes of research are to review the influence of peat swamp forest conversion to palm oil and areca nut plantation to soil arthropods communities’ composition and to review relationship between soil arthropods communities’ composition with microclimate and edaphic condition due to peat swamp forest conversion. This research was done in Sinar Wajo Village, East Tanjung Jabung District, Province of Jambi. Method of arthropods sampling employed pitfall trap in four different land use are secondary forest, post fire forest on August 2017, palm oil plantation, and areca nut plantation for 2 x 24 hours within taking sample every 1 x 24 hours. By employing results of this research 1901 individuals of soil arthropods belong into 73 morphospecies from 39 families were encountered. Highest reduction of individual abundance was encountered in post fire forest, which reached 63%. Individual abundance of soil arthropods has positive correlation with soil moisture. The highest richness and diversity index were found in secondary forest, while the lowest was found in areca nut plantation. According to Morisita’s similarity index, soil arthropods communities in post fire forest have similarity with soil arthropods communities in areca nut plantation (0.73). The highest soil C-organic matter was found in secondary forest (50.13%), whereas the lowest was found in areca nut plantation (19.10%). Peat swamp forest conversion provokes biodiversity reduction and the change of composition and proportion feeding guild of soil arthropods communities that affected by vegetation structure and edaphic condition. <br />
