Abstract
As indicated by the preliminary study on the hydrological effect of typical forest litters and soil in semi-arid loess area,the annual stock of Huaguoshan forest litter was about 1.45-17.92 t/hm2 and the maximum water-holding volume ranged from 0.4 to 1.9 mm,the litters from the mixed Larix gmelinii and Pinus tabuliformis forest as well as the mixed Pinus tabuliformis and Robinia pseudoacacia L.forest had stronger water-holding capacity.Variance analysis showed that the water-holding capacity of different forests differed largely at the first six hours.Soil physical properties measurements showed that the forest soils of Huaguoshan had high water-holding capacity,which ranged from 64.63-109.96 t/hm2 at the 1 m.
