Title: Effect of Different Types of Land Use on Soil Moisture and Bulk Density
Abstract: The paper studied the effect of different types of land use on soil moisture and bulk density, via choosing arbor land, shrub land, abandoned land, orchard and corn field at Guanmenshan valley in Bijie. Results showed that: 1) soil moisture contents of arbor land and shrub land changed slightly with increasing slope length in the surface soil, but soil moisture contents of arbor land were higher than shrub land. 2) soil moisture contents of slope toe were higher than slope middle in arbor land and shrub land, and slope middle higher than slope top.3) soil moisture contents increased with depth in 0-80 cm soil depth under five land-use types. 4)The densities of super soil layer were arranged in the following sequence: arbor landshrub landorchard abandoned landcornfield.
