Soil restoration is a research area focused on improving and revitalizing soil health and quality in degraded or damaged ecosystems. This may involve techniques such as adding organic matter, implementing cover cropping, planting native species, or using biochar to enhance soil fertility, structure, and biodiversity. Soil restoration aims to improve soil functions, such as nutrient cycling, water retention, and carbon sequestration, ultimately leading to more sustainable and productive land use practices. By restoring soil health, researchers hope to promote ecosystem resilience, mitigate environmental degradation, and support sustainable agriculture and land management practices.
