- •
We assessed interactive effects of vegetation and soil changes on communities of detritivorous, herbivorous, and predatory beetles.
- •
Vegetation–soil interactions explained most of the composition variation in functional groups than did vegetation or soil alone.
- •
Vegetation changes affected the composition of beetle functional groups more than soil changes.
- •
Changes in vegetation and soil affected beetle abundance and diversity through both direct and indirect effects.
