Effects of Forest Degradation on Forest’s Soil Water Retention in Northern Vietnam
This study characterized the forest soil water retention o f four forest types m Thuong Tien Natural Reserve, Northern Vietnam. Forty forest plots were designed to measure forest structure, topography, and soil properties. Daily soil moisture o f 40 plots and rainfall were collected in a period o f...

This study characterized the forest soil water retention o f four forest types m Thuong Tien Natural Reserve, Northern Vietnam. Forty forest plots were designed to measure forest structure, topography, and soil properties. Daily soil moisture o f 40 plots and rainfall were
collected in a period o f 60 consecutive days. Multi-linear regressions were used to inspect ứie relationship between forest structures, soil porosity and forest soil moisture. The environmental factors having sừong effect on forest soil moisture are litter cover, vegetation ground cover, and
soil porosity. Forest soil moisture can be predicted by the two regression models. First, prediction model o f soil moisture for a rainy day (R^ ^0.55 - 0.81). Second, prediction model o f soil inoisiure for a no rainy day (R^=0.52 - 0.83). Main predictors o f these models are rainfall, antecedent soil moisture and time interval (days). The root square means eưor (RSME) o f the predicted values o the models is 2.03%.
