Changes in soil water holding capacity and water availability following vegetation restoration on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Abstract Changes in land use type can lead to variations in soil water characteristics. The objective of this study was to identify the responses of soil water holding capacity (SWHC) and soil water availability (SWA) to land use type (grassland, shrubland and forestland). The soil water characteris...
