The use of grass cultivation in the restoration of degraded ecosystems is widespread, in order to reveal the effect of different grass cultivation patterns on the community structure of soil mites in the integrated management area of rocky desertification. In April and July 2021, a total of 2782 soil mites belonging to 3 orders, 42 families, and 73 genera were captured from three typical grass cultivation, Lolium perenne, Dactylis glomerata and Trifolium repens, and the traditional Zea mays as a control sample, in the integrated management area of potential-light rocky desertification in the karst plateau mountains of Salaxi, Guizhou Province. The soil mite community structure was analyzed using number of taxa (genera), number of individuals, diversity index, community similarity index, MI index of predatory mites, and MGP analysis of oribatid mite ecological taxa. The results showed that: (1) The summer has a more prosperous composition and diversity of soil mites across habitats, while the dominant genera of soil mites show a differential distribution across habitats; the number of soil mite genera, individuals and individual densities was significantly higher in the three grass cultivation habitats than the Zea mays habitat, and surface aggregation of soil mites is more pronounced. (2) There were differences in soil mite community structure among the three grass cultivation patterns, with a regularity of Lolium perenne > Dactylis glomerata > Trifolium repens in the composition of soil mites genera and the number of individuals, and the proportion of shared genera was not high. (3) The diversity of soil mites varied according to the environment and season, with the highest diversity of soil mites in Lolium perenne habitats; both the community similarity analysis and the CCA analysis showed that Lolium perenne and Dactylis glomerata habitats had the highest similarity of soil mite communities (4) Predatory mites were dominated by r-selective ecotypes, and oribatida were dominated by O and P type ecotypes under the three habitat patterns. (5) Soil nutrient conditions were more favorable in Trifolium repens habitats, while soil water content was higher in Dactylis glomerata environment, and correlation analysis indicated that TK was a key environmental factor influencing soil mite community composition and diversity. Based on the above results, it is further elaborated that the artificial grass restoration model not only improves the nutrient supply of soil N, P, and K but also significantly increases the composition and diversity of soil mite species, which is beneficial to the restoration of soil mite communities and is very helpful in terms of achieving self-sustainability and restoration of soil functions in rocky desertification areas
