The study on priority flow paths is an important topic on the underground water movement research. In this paper, the bright blue dyeing tracer test method was used to directly observe and distinguish woodland soil substrate and soil priority path, respectively, and analyze the soil priority flow paths, the root length density and root weight density of the plant in the roots, the formation of the priority flow paths and the referential flow in soil process. The results showed that the more rainfall intensity was, the surface of the priority flow paths dyeing presented the bigger obvious wide area gathered distribution. When the rainfall was 25 mm/d, the average gathered distribution thickness of large area in sample soil dyeing area was 50 cm. It also showed that the root long density of roots > 5 mm affected the soil pore size significantly, and the root long density of roots < 5 mm affected the soil pore linkage obviously. In addition, the value of root weight density of plant in soil was closely related to the quantity and the linkage degree of priority flow paths. The more value of root weight density is, the more preferred priority flow paths formatted, and more preferred priority flow formatted. The root weight density of plant presented very significant difference in 10—20 cm and 30—40 cm soil depth in the different two regions (P < 0.05), the priority flow paths suddenly decreased in the depth of 30 cm. It is a new method for study of the priority flow paths.
