- Abstract:
-
Ecological restoration and vegetation construction are severely restricted by water supply in arid regions. Study on ecological water and soil water carrying capacity has become the key to realize sustainable development. Ecological water influences soil moisture recharge, which is one of the key factors that restrain soil water carrying capacity. Improvement of the soil water carrying capacity has been a guarantee for ecological water in arid regions. In addition, forest vegetation could conserve soil and water, adjust surface runoff and increase infiltration, which add to the amount of ecological water in arid regions. Therefore, soil water carrying capacity will be increased, which will create a virtuous circle and lead to a stable ecosystem. This study summarized the related literature references and discussed the relationship between ecological water and soil water carrying capacity from three aspects including concepts of ecological water and soil water carrying capacity, current development status and importance in vegetation construction.
