The study looked at how planting trees and grass can improve soil quality in different regions of China. They found that areas with vegetation had better soil structure and fertility compared to cultivated land. Over time, the soil became even healthier with more stable aggregates and porosity. The amount of organic matter and nitrogen in the soil also increased with vegetation. However, the effects varied depending on the region and factors like climate and soil type. Overall, planting vegetation can greatly benefit soil health by improving its structure and fertility.
