in Simian mountain of Chongqing City.Results indicated that the saturated soil water holding capacity in mixed broadleaf conifer forest was the maximum of 314.98 mm;broadleaf forests
301.26 mm and 290.26 mm;and coniferous forest
the minimum of 237.94 mm.The values were 44.93%
38.61%
33.72%
and 9.48%higher than those in barren land
respectively.Soil infiltration rate inLithocarpusglaber×Schimasuperbabroadleaf forest was maximum
with the initial rate of 25.35 mm/ min
the stable rate of 3.97 mm/ min
and the averaged rate of 5.48 mm/ min.The grey relational grade analysis indicates that the two different mixed broadleaf forests are able to adjust and conserve maximal daily rainfall.Broadleaf forest mixed by Lithocarpusglaber×Schimasuperba×Cinnamomumcamphora×Liquidambarformsana has excellent soil water holding capability
while broadleaf forest mixed byLithocarpusglaber×Schimasuperbahas strong soil infiltration efficiency.
