ABSTRACT Bacteriophages (phages) influence biogeochemical cycling in soil ecosystems by mediating bacterial metabolism. However, the participation of phages soil's overall ecological functions (multifunctionality) remains unclear. Hence, this study investigated potential for and communities to shape multifunctionality compost‐applied soils. The findings revealed that cow compost vermicompost applications enhanced multifunctionality; consequently, highest was observed with application ( p < 0.05). composition diversity bacteria phages, as well abundance functional genes related carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus sulphur metabolism, were dramatically altered following both types. Moreover, impact phage on is crucial multi‐threshold calculations. Structural equation modelling indicated effects paramount, a path coefficient 0.88 0.01). rise enrichment indirectly led dramatic increase affecting host bacteria's metabolic processes. These results offer novel avenue improve environmental services transforming community
