From the data presented in Table 3 , it is evident that the relationship between the monthly changes of Rs and the multiple linear regression of soil moisture and temperature in various areas is highly significant ( P < 0.01).
During the succession of vegetation from herbaceous to arborvitae on VC slopes, R S showed a decreasing trend, and GS was significantly higher than AS by 45%; Compared to NS, R S was 29.81% and 21.56% higher in GS and SS successional stages, respectively, and 27.51% lower in AS stage.
