To evaluate the influence of different management measures on the water-holding capacity of Pinustabulaeformis Carr. plantation litter

the litter reserves

the maximum moisture

the natural moisture and the effective interception amount were measured and analyzed respectively at the time of tending beginning

tending after 2 years and tending after 4 years.During the process of experiment

the following five measures on Pinus tabulae formis Carr. plantation were used:clearing cutting with banding

banned tending

selective cutting with hole shape

branch pruning and introducing shrub

and with the not banned tending as a control group.The results showed that:(1)The litter reserves and moisture increased with the time.(2)Under the different management measures

the litter reserves after 2 years and 4 years followed as the sequence:clearing cutting with banding>banned tending>selective cutting with hole shape>branch pruning}introducing shrub>not banned tending;the maximum moisture of the litter after 1 to 2 years ranked as:introducing shrubs banned tending> clearing cutting with banding> selective cutting with hole shape>branch pruning

and after 2 to 4 years:introducing shrubs clearing cutting with banding> banned tending>selective cutting with hole shape>branch pruning>not banned tending;(3)The natural moisture of the litter after 1 to 2 years followed as:banned tending> introducing shrubs selective cutting with hole shape>clearing cutting with banding>branch pruning>not banned tending

and after 2 to 4 years:introducing shrub>banned tending>selective cutting with hole shape>clearing cutting with banding>branch pruning>not banned tending;(4)The effective interception amount ranked as:clearing cutting with banding>selective cutting with hole shape>introducing shrub>banned tending>branch pruning>not banned tending.
