- Abstract:
-
Effects of land use types on dynamic of soil moisture in three different periods(before the rainy season, at the rainy season, after the rainy season) in Yanhe basin were analyzed in this paper. The results show that the land use types have the significant influences on soil moisture on the horizontal and vertical scales, soil moisture of farm land is the highest and land use as farm land obviously influences soil moisture, which is followed by the natural grassland, bare land, woodland, orchard land and young forest land, and the soil moisture is the lowest in shrub land. In profile, the soil moisture increases along the depth of soil layer before the rainy season(drought period), the soil moisture decreases or fluctuates in the middle period of rainy season(humid period). The soil moisture declines firstly and then it increase in the late rainy season. It can be seen that the spatio-temporal pattern of soil moisture is closely related to rainfall distribution, plant transpiration and land use. In Yanhe River basin, land use types significantly influence soil moisture in different seasons. It is essential for management of this river basin and optimal basin administration that the effects of different land use types on soil moisture are paid attention and the land use structure is optimized.
