Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Both Miscanthus species significantly enhanced soil quality in degraded acidic red soils after long-term cultivation.
- Intervention effect Xiangzamang increased bulk soil SQI 1.5-fold in the 20-40 cm layer compared with the C3 native grass mixture.
- Intervention effect Miscanthus floridulus achieved a 1.4-fold bulk soil SQI enhancement in the 0-20 cm layer.
- Intervention effect Miscanthus floridulus achieved a 1.1-fold bulk soil SQI enhancement in the 20-40 cm layer.
- Intervention effect Xiangzamang showed more comprehensive soil benefits, particularly in bulk soil improvement, with a 70% increase compared with the C3 native grass mixture.
- Method / resource The minimum data set MDS2 proved the most robust selection method for the soil quality index.
- Method / resource The choice of scoring model (linear, non-linear or membership function) had a minimal effect on the final SQI results.
- Observation Soil organic carbon and mineral nitrogen were identified as key indicators affecting SQI.
- Observation Bulk density and microbial biomass carbon were identified as key indicators affecting SQI.
- Recommendation Future acidic red soil remediation strategies should prioritize these key soil indicators.
