Paper Summary

Vegetation restoration in South China improves soil quality by increasing porosity and organic matter content. Different forests show varying levels of soil water-holding capacity and hydraulic conductivity. Soil organic matter plays a key role in enhancing soil hydraulic properties. Overall, restoring vegetation in humid subtropical regions benefits soil health and water retention.
