Abstract: Highlights: [•] Soil infiltrability varied along a 79-year natural restoration chronosequence. [•] Grassland restoration reduced impact of high-intensity rainfall on infiltrability. [•] Soil infiltrability increased over time during natural restoration on Loess Plateau. [•] Organic matter accumulation improved soil structure and infiltrability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
