Our understanding of how varying clipping intensities affect the efficiency of phytoextraction remains limited, particularly with co-cropping systems. This study focuses on assessing the effects of different clipping intensities on phytoextraction efficiency within co-cropping systems dominated by the key species Dicranopteris pedata and Pinus massoniana in rare-earth mines of southern China. Our results confirmed the following. Firstly, the compensation index, dry aboveground biomass, and rare-earth elements (REE) accumulation of clipped D. pedata per unit area were highest under 100% clipping (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the bioabsorption coefficient, bioconcentration factor, and translocation factor of P. massoniana were less than 1. Secondly, the soil catalase, sucrase, and α-diversity indices of bacteria and fungi separately indicated no significant variation between the clipping treatments and control. The REE content in tree rings increased, and the total REE contents in thicker tree rings were higher than those in the thinner tree rings of P. massoniana from 1997 to 2016. Additionally, the soil erosion intensity diminished significantly in the growth area of P. massoniana from 1995 to 2019. Thirdly, both D. pedata and P. massoniana, when subjected to 100% clipping, could effectively remove excess REEs from the 0–20 cm soil layer within 18.57–61.19 years. In contrast, P. massoniana alone achieved a removal rate of excess REEs in the 20–60 cm layer, within 923.16–1899.62 years. Thus, D. pedata with 100% clipping can phytoextract the maximum amount of REEs. It is noted that P. massoniana cannot be used for REEs phytoextraction or phytostabilization. Co-cropping with 100% clipping would have a less negative impact on growth and REEs extraction, and the co-cropping system can phytoextract excess REEs from the surface soil within decades. However, it is not efficient for the phytoextraction of excess REEs from deep soil layers.
