Long-term unreasonable management has led to the continuous decline of soil quality in Melaleuca alternifolia planting areas in southern China, and there is no effective way to improve its soil quality at present. In this study, residues of tea tree oil extraction were returned to the forest to explore its influence on soil quality. Therefore, four test groups (RT, residues were tiled; RS, residues were stacked; RDT, residues were decomposed and tiled; RDS, residues were decomposed and stacked) and one control group (CK, nothing was changed) were designed. We used one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis to detect 22 physical, chemical, and biological indicators of soil, and then used minimum data set (MDS) and principal component analysis (PCA) to evaluate soil quality. The results show that compared with the CK, BD and pH in the test groups decreases, while CP, TTP, SOM, AN, NN, AP, AK, CEC, MBC, MBN, MBP, catalase, urease, sucrase, and ACP increase or strengthen in different degrees, and the biomass increases by 5.3%~12.8%. The soil quality indexes (SQI) are RDT (0.616) > RT (0.546) > RDS (0.525) > RS (0.452) > CK (0.291). Significant correlation between SQI and biomass indicates that the indicators have high biological significance for the planting areas of Melaleuca alternifolia in the red soil region in southern China. These results show that residues could improve soil quality, and that the soil quality is different among different test groups. This study provides a new path for the management of Melaleuca alternifolia plantation.
