Title: Analysis of Soil Water Content of Different Vegetation Types in the North-Western Part of Shanxi Province
Abstract: This study tested the soil water contents of four typical vegetation types- the artificial Pinus tabulaefomis Carr. ,natural bushwood, grazing land and farmland in the Loess hilly area of the northwestern part of Shanxi province. The maximum soil depth to which the soil water was measured was 9.9m in this study. The results showed that the soil water moistures in most part of farmland soil profile were up the easily available water content range, the soil water contents of artificial Pinus tabulaefomis Carr., natural bushwood land and natural grazing land are by far lower than that of farmland along the whole soil profiles, and most of the soil moistures in their soil profiles were within the medium available water content range. We knew from the study result that the difference of soil water contents between natural vegetation and farmland was distiction.
