To address the ecological challenges arising from pure forest plantations and wood supply–demand imbalance, implementing sustainable management is paramount. Accordingly, we studied crop trees at three densities (100, 150, 200 N/ha) in a subtropical Pinus massoniana plantation. Our study revealed that dominant phyla genera within fungal community remained largely consistent, with Basidiomycota Ascomycota occupying prominent positions. Notably, β diversity of exhibited significant changes. Ectomycorrhizal saprophytic fungi emerged as crucial functional guilds, crop-tree thinning contributed to increased complexity network, prevalence positive rather than negative correlations among genera. The roles played by Camphor plants ferns were evident networks. Additionally, under thinning, plant experienced boost, fostering interactions community. Herb vital role community, affecting it either directly or indirectly, altering content total phosphorus organic matter soil. This underscores relationship between undergrowth soil communities, offering scientific basis for evaluating sustainability restoring inefficient forest-plantation ecosystems.
