Hello, I am working on a project in China. According to local standards, only area with 600mm (approx. 24 inch) soil depth can be counted as "vegetated area", do LEED has the same requirement regarding the soil depth? Much appreciate

No, LEED does not have such a specific definition in relation to soil depth.
