Reviewer 2 Report

1. In lines 74-75, please pay attention to the capitalization of the first letters of the words.

2. In line 79, it should be "et al."

3. When introducing the research of a specific researcher, only the surname is needed, for example, Wu et al. (2021).

4. In line 88, a reference should be added when introducing the research of a researcher.

5. In lines 128-131, the introduction of relevant studies on exploring landscape restoration effects using eye-tracking techniques can be more detailed, especially regarding important research findings.

6. The content in lines 132-142 appears abrupt. It is recommended to shorten or remove it.

7. The introduction section lacks an review of the research on exploring landscape restoration effects using eye-tracking techniques. This type of research has already been conducted, and the author should provide some detailed introductions to these studies, including the research achievements in this field, as well as any limitations. Based on this, the author can elaborate on the research questions addressed in their study.

8. In section 2.1, please provide the location of the study area.

10. There is redundancy between the experimental design in section 2.5 and sections 2.2 and 2.3. It is recommended to make corresponding adjustments.

11. In Table 6, it is suggested to place the dependent variable directly in the first column of the table.

12. The analysis of eye-tracking heatmaps in section 4.1 is recommended to be moved to section 3.1. The discussion section should focus more on the interpretation of results and the similarities and differences with previous studies.

13. The title of Table 7 should be placed above the content of the table.

14. In section 4.4, the author describes, "According to the analysis of the above parts, it can be learned that the relatively simple landscape environment with the constituent elements is easier for people to feel relaxed." However, the paper does not include a differential analysis of restoration scores for different landscape types. Moreover, previous studies have found that higher landscape heterogeneity leads to higher perceived restoration by visitors, which contradicts the author's viewpoint. Therefore, the validity of this conclusion deserves further discussion.

15. Throughout the discussion section, the author lacks in-depth analysis of the results, especially in comparison with previous studies. There have been numerous studies on the relationship between landscape features and restoration, as well as eye-tracking features and restoration. It is recommended for the author to supplement this part of the discussion.

16. Abbreviations used for the first time in the abstract should include their full forms.

17. The abstract should not include research progress or future research directions. This information can be included in the last subsection of the discussion section.
