Article Synopsis
- Soil infiltration is vital for plant water needs, especially in semi-arid areas like the Loess Plateau, but its responses to vegetation restoration types are not well understood.
- This study investigates how different revegetation methods impact soil infiltration through field experiments with nine plant species across five restoration types, finding that artificial forests and natural grasslands improved soil properties significantly.
- Results revealed that increased root characteristics from vegetation restoration boosted soil stability and porosity, leading to higher infiltration rates, with soil particle size and porosity being key predictors of these enhanced properties.
