The invention discloses an 
ecological engineering method of converting severely lost soil on a 
surface layer of a mudflat into a forest land in a quick and highly efficient manner. The method comprise the following steps: firstly, turning over soil in a high-strength and high-frequency manner, and conducting artificial 
irrigation to accelerate alternation of 
wetting and 
drying; and secondly, conducting ridging and salt-leaching; thirdly, applying organic materials, covering the soil with films, removing the films, and ploughing the soil; fourthly, applying organic fertilizers, 
biochar and 
calcium superphosphate; and fifthly, planting 
green manure, and planting shallow-root salt-tolerant trees and shrubs after ploughing down of the 
green manure. On the basis of artificial acceleration of a natural 
ecological process, high-strength and high-frequency alternation of 
wetting and 
drying and anaerobic / aerobiotic natural ecological processes are conducted on raw soil 
layers, and organics are artificially added to conduct 
fermentation to bring heat and maturation, so soil structures can be improved quickly. Salt-leaching is conducted on the basis of ridging of home positions, and the 
biochar, organic fertilizers and 
calcium superphosphate are added, so 
soil nutrients are increased, the 
soil conservation capacity and the soil buffer capacity are improved, and the pH and the 
salt content are reduced. The method helps to restore forest lands in a quick and highly efficient manner, and is also suitable for improving and 
greening destroyed soil or polluted soil with surface 
layers removed in coastal zones.
