: The characteristics and ecological functions of urban soil are degraded by human activities. The influence of urban soil characteristics on stormwater runoff quantity and quality is analyzed, the requirements of LID engineering soil is discussed, so as to provide theoretical basis and reference for improving rainfall runoff control effect of LID measures. It is showed that the saturated water conductivity of soil was an important parameter for LID measures mainly focused on infiltration. For LID measures mainly aimed at removing pollution load, soil texture and bulk density are important parameters, and pH value, substrate nutrients and heavy metal content are also influencing factors, based on which the engineering soil formula should be improved. During construction, mechanical compaction of soil should be avoided. The garbage in LID facility area should be regularly cleaned up to prevent blocking soil surface. In heavily polluted areas, soil pollutants should be periodically checked, and replaced if they exceed the soil load.
