Abstract

Soil organic reconstruction is crucial for improving soil quality and ecological restoration. This study investigates the potential of shale as an organic reconstruction material for soil. Through laboratory experiments and field trials, we explore the effects of shale on soil properties, microbial communities, and plant growth. The results show that the addition of shale can significantly enhance soil organic matter content, enzyme activity, and microbial diversity. Moreover, it promotes plant growth and improves soil structure. This research provides a novel approach for utilizing shale in soil improvement and ecological restoration.
