Abstract:According to the features of water cycle in protective forest ecosystem in loess area,the equation of water balance for the protective forestry ecosystem was put forward.The tables of water balance were presented for 6 ecosystems in the period from 1988 to 1992.From the experimental results of water balance,the input and output of the protective forest ecosystem were analyzed.It is pointed out that rainfall and exchange of water between root zone and deep soil were main water input,evapotranspiration and ca...
