flag Chinese scientists find soil microbes aid coral island restoration, but artificial planting falls short without targeted improvements.

flag A Chinese research team has found that soil microorganisms play a key role in restoring tropical coral islands, with fungi helping in early stages by breaking down tough organic matter and bacteria supporting long-term stability by cycling nutrients. flag The study, published in Soil Ecology Letters, shows that while artificial vegetation improves soil conditions, fertility and biodiversity remain below natural levels, with carbon and phosphorus identified as limiting factors. flag Researchers recommend targeted planting, extended monitoring, and refined techniques to boost ecosystem resilience.
