Arthropods are important ecological indicators in sustainable agriculture, yet the impact of greenhouse structures on their assemblage dynamics is not well understood. This study examined how structural openness affects arthropod diversity and assemblage composition by comparing open-field orchards with enclosed greenhouse orchards under eco-friendly management. We collected a total of 1,961 individuals representing 141 species. The results showed that open-field orchards had significantly higher species richness and overall diversity compared to greenhouse orchards. Rarefaction and extrapolation analyses confirmed that estimated richness was markedly higher in open-field systems. Additionally, assemblage ordination indicated strong differentiation among open-field sites, while greenhouse orchards displayed significant assemblage homogenization, likely due to limited dispersal and reduced connectivity caused by physical enclosure. These findings highlight that structural openness is a key factor influencing arthropod assemblage structure in orchard environments. They also suggest a potential trade-off between production stability and biodiversity conservation in protected cultivation systems. Broader surveys of various orchard types and structural configurations, along with long-term monitoring, are needed to better understand the ecological impacts of protected cultivation on arthropod communities in managed landscapes.
