ABSTRACT Aim Anthropogenic effects, for example, urbanisation, induce environmental stressors that often result in biodiversity loss, with significant implications ecosystem services. In particular, the decline insect can reduce essential services such as pest suppression or food web disruption urban areas. Potentially, impact of urbanisation may differ between above‐ and belowground communities. This is because two groups be influenced by different abiotic biotic factors. However, this remains unclear to date. Location Korea. Methods We investigated consequences landscape changes factors, increased temperature, impervious surfaces, building density, vegetation cover, on diversity functional group aboveground insects. used sweeping methods sample insects, while insects were collected using sifting method Berlese funnel. also data from areas varying population densities analysed correlational patterns degree richness abundance. Results Despite levels, overall species abundance remained relatively stable across studied landscapes. Aboveground showed no relationship communities exhibited declining Notably, generalist specialist opposite patterns. Belowground predator suffered most herbivorous increased. Main Conclusion study highlights disproportionate compared These findings inform development targeted conservation strategies safeguard during planning initiatives, promoting healthy resilient ecosystems.
