Through the investigation of the vegetation restoration and soil properties on an artificial-repaired slope in Qingfeng quarry,the relationships among soil physicochemical properties,soil enzyme activities,and vegetation restoration on slope,as well as the dominant factors affecting soil quality were explored so as to provide a theoretical basis for rocky slope protection and eco-restoration.Results showed that with regard to species diversity,plant community structure,and its stability or soil quality,the artificial restoration slope did not rapidly reach the natural state in a short term.There existed different degree correlations among soil properties and the plant indexes of Margalef,Shannon—Wiener,and Pielou when the indexes were applied in the herb and woody layers on the vegetation restoration slope.Species diversity in herb layer had greater impacts on soil water content and the activities of acid phosphatase and protease,while species diversity in woody layer mainly affected total phosphorus and protease activity.Factors like soil available nutrients,soil enzyme activities,and soil organic matter were the dominant factors affecting soil quality.
