生态修复是改善生态环境的重要手段，对于土壤、水文、植被等多方面具有影响。介绍了植被恢复对土壤水分、土壤密度、土壤有机质、土壤氮等4个方面的影响。结果表明：①植被恢复对土壤的影响有利有弊，大多数情况下植被恢复降低土壤水分，提高养分含量，降低土壤密度；②从不同的指标来看，植被恢复改善土壤性状所需时间不同，从3年至20年以上；有些立地条件下，人工造林土壤性状长期低于天然林；③对于改善土壤性状没有明显作用的植物种，在进行合理配置后，有可能产生很好的改良土壤作用。在此基础上提出植被恢复需进一步明确的各类指标目标阈值及措施。

The paper introduces the impacts of vegetation restoration on soil properties, such as soil moisture, soil bulk density, soil organic matter, soil nitrogen. The research results related to vegetation restoration indicate as follows: 1. Its influencing soil properties represents at both respects,i.e., decreasing soil moisture and improving nutrient contents，but decreasing soil bulk density in most of the cases. 2.The time needed to improve soil properties by vegetation restoration is different from different indexes, which could take 3 to 20 years. Under some site conditions，soil properties of artificial forest will be lower than those of natural forest for long time. 3. To the plant species that has little effect on improving soil property，the soil properties can be improved by rational allocation. It must be pointed out that the threshold for vegetation restoration should be further researched.
