Dear authors,
the article can be published after revision according to the comments below
Comment
Change title: Effect of different vegetation restoration types to soil quality in mountainous areas of Beijing
Write in the methods in more detail how the SQI-soil quality index was calculated equal to 0 to 1 in the study area, which was influenced by total nitrogen (TN), sand content, total potassium (TK), pH, and available water capacity (AWC), give an example of calculation
Table 2. Values of soil indicator characteristics For what depth
Table 3. Write what means: PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4 PC5 COM
Figure. 5 you need to indicate in the A-left part of the figure what the depth of the soil is. Explain in more detail the B-right part of Fig. 5
It is necessary to write all the basic data-figures throughout the text of the article and tables to whole units, Example 28.644%(TN), 21.398%(Sand content), 24.551%(TK), 16.075%(pH)and 9.332%(AWC
You need 29%(TN), 21%(Sand content), 25%(TK), 16%(pH)and 9%(AWC. And so on for all indicators throughout the article
It is necessary to explain why total carbon and clay content were not included in the soil quality index, what other scientists wrote about this?
The list of references contains only two articles on the use of models. Need to add
Good luck
