【Objective】Bridge construction strongly affects the structure and function of soil microbial communities in coastal wetlands. However, its specific impacts on mangrove soil fungal communities have not been given much attention. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of bridge construction on mangrove soil fungal communities, focusing on two common construction methods (Steel casing pipe, SC; Sheet pile cofferdam, SP) compared to undisturbed areas (UD), providing insights for ecological conservation and sustainable management.【Method】Soil fungal communities across SC, SP, and UD habitats were investigated using high-throughput sequencing, functional guild annotation, and co-occurrence network analysis. Key soil properties were measured to identify environmental drivers.【Result】The results showed that the main fungal biomarkers in the soils of the UD and SC habitats were Ascomycota, whereas the SP habitat was dominated by Basidiomycota. Also, the species richness of the soil fungi in the SP habitat was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that in the SC and UD habitats. In addition, the species richness of saprotrophic fungi was significantly (P <0.05) higher in SP than in SC and UD, and the relative abundance of saprotrophic fungi was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in SC than in UD. The soil C/N ratio, TN, and pH were the main environmental drivers affecting fungal guilds. Fungal co-occurrence network analysis showed that the network complexity (avgK = 1.94) was higher in the UD habitat than in the SC and SP habitats.【Conclusion】This study reveals that bridge construction methods differentially alter mangrove soil fungal communities through soil physicochemical alterations. These findings highlight the need for method-specific environmental assessments and offer a scientific basis for balancing coastal wetland conservation with construction activities.
