Soil is the living skin of the earth, so they say.

The structure and function of soils in the context of urban forest restoration is underrated. Recent research is emerging on the role that soil degradation plays in poor forest health.

Inappropriate soils can lead to increased invasive plants, poor growth and development of plants or root systems, increased plant mortality, decreased seed germination, decreased spread of ground cover, and erosion. In short, inappropriate soils can undermine restoration project goals.
