Evaluation of the planting performance for planting substrate using the SQI-CRITIC combination model based on the least squares method by Ning Wang, Dong Xia, Dong Xia, Dong Xia, Xiaoming Duan, Bingqin Zhao, Bingqin Zhao, Wennian Xu, Wennian Xu

“…Photosynthetic rate (1.97 μmol∙m−2∙s−1) and transpiration rate (0.25 mmol∙m−2∙s−1) were significantly higher than the other fitness ratio components (P &lt; 0.05), while the stomatal width (87.03 μm) was the largest and stomatal density (19.6%) was the lowest (P &lt; 0.05). (2) The results calculated by the SQI-CRITIC combination model based on the least square method are scientific and effective, more accurate and in line with the actual situation. (3) The comprehensive analysis recommended the use of a quality mix ratio (mixture of sediment, amendment of habitat material, organic matter, cement = 100:3:12:4) in ecological restoration to achieve the best plant growth and ecological restoration effect.ConclusionThe experimental results can be extended to more areas that need to use sandy soil for ecological restoration, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for soil quality evaluation, soil and water conservation control, and ecological construction in the Yellow River Basin.…”
