[Method] Based on field survey and experimental analysis, water conservation function of four typical forest stands in Jinyun Mountain of Chongqing was explored, including conifer-broadleaved mixed for- est, evergreen broad-leaved forest, bamboo forest and shrub forest. [Result] The re- sults showed that the order of saturated water storage capacity of soil in four forest stands was shrub forest （266.48 mm） 〉 conifer-broadleaved mixed forest （190.40 mm） 〉 evergreen broad-leaved forest （186.80 mm） 〉 bamboo forest （174.80 mm）; the order of maximum water-holding capacity of litter was shrub forest （8.06 mm） 〉 conifer-broadleaved mixed forest （4.71 mm） 〉 evergreen broad-leaved forest （4.32 mm） 〉 bamboo forest （3.34 mm）; the order of canopy interception in various forest stands was conifer-broadleaved mixed forest （16.15%） 〉 evergreen broad-leaved for- est （14.70%） 〉 bamboo forest （12.64%）. [Conclusion] The study had great signifi- cance to rational manage forest resources, improve water environment and realize scientific management and use of water resources.展开更多

Mainly based on the PF-a numerical value denoting the water regime of soil and connected with the growth of plant, the study combined the moisture percentage of soil with PF to research in quantity the interrelation between the moisture percentage and PF in different succession phases of subalpine dark coniferous forest in Gongga Mountain. The results showed that: (1) In the same PF value, the moisture percentage in humus horizon increased gradually with the devel-opment of the succession of the dark coniferous forest; The moisture percentage of over-mature forest was the highest and>mature forest>half-mature forest>young growth forest; (2) With the increase of soil depth, the soil bulk density increased and the moisture percentage decreased, but the difference in the percentage of moisture was not notable in different succession phases. (3) In different succession series, the vegetation affected the soil water characteristics by increasing the soil organic matter, improving the soil construction, receding the soil bulk density and enhancing the soil porosity; (4) The humus horizon of the dark coniferous forest soil has the highest water holding capability in this region.展开更多
