英文摘要Soil moisture controls the functioning of semi-arid ecosystems. The response of soil moisture to forest stand thinning determines planting density and sustainability of forest development. However, consequences of stand thinning are poorly known in semi-arid ecosystems of the Qilian Mountains of China. We investigated long-term effects of three thinning intensities in Picea crassifolia plantations on soil hydrological responses and soil moisture dynamics at 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 cm depths, and compared them to those of a natural Picea crassifolia forest. Results revealed that soil hydrological response may be temporarily modified by thinning according to changes in canopy structure, precipitation properties, and antecedent soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture in natural forest rapidly infiltrated into deep soil, which greatly improved the efficiency of precipitation use. Thinning significantly increased the capacity for soil infiltration, and moderate thinning intensity may be conducive to deep soil-water recharge. Soil moisture content changed drastically after thinning, with a significant decrease near-surface (10 cm), and a significant increase in sub-surface (60 and 80 cm) soil. High planting density was the main cause of severe soil moisture deficits in the long-term, but it could be mitigated by 20-40% thinning (similar to 3139 trees ha(-1)). Changes in precipitation patterns that include larger but less frequent rainfall events during the growing season will benefit the growth of vegetation planted at high densities in this semi-arid region.
