Short summary
We introduced nitrogen-fixing tree species into Eucalyptus plantations. The results showed that nitrogen-fixing tree species mixed plantations increased microbial diversity and network complexity, as well as the abundance of genes related to the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, while promoting soil phosphorus transformation. This suggests that mixed plantings could be a promising forest management strategy for enhancing phosphorus use efficiency in ecosystems.
