Doneori Oreum Soil Restoration Project, Jeju
This project applied moss-based restoration technology to soil that had not recovered after a natural rest period, rebuilding the conditions for vegetation establishment.
Even after a period of ecological rest, vegetation recovery at Doneori Oreum remained slow. Code of Nature applied moss-based soil restoration technology to improve soil physicochemical properties and create the conditions needed for native vegetation to establish again.
Restoration Results
Confirmed recovery of soil physicochemical properties
Improved soil pH from moderate to favorable range
Increased available phosphorus by 1.5–2 times
Approximately doubled organic matter, organic carbon, and total nitrogen
Confirmed the soil foundation needed for native vegetation establishment
Improvement across key soil indicators means that the essential groundwork for vegetation recovery was formed first. This shows that stable establishment of native vegetation became more achievable, creating the conditions for natural recovery to continue over time.
