Soil water storage (SWS) had highly significant positive and negative correlations ( P < 0.01) with correlation coefficients of (-0.801, 0.699) on soil water content (SWC) and soil water deficit (DSWi).
Soil water storage (SWS) had highly significant positive and negative correlations ( P < 0.01) with correlation coefficients of (-0.801, 0.699) on soil water content (SWC) and soil water deficit (DSWi).
HR showed a gradual increase in D-value in the shallow soil layer (0–40 cm); CF showed a gradual increase in the middle soil layer (40–140 cm); CF showed a slight decrease in the deeper soil layer (140–200 cm), while the other three vegetation showed an increasing trend in deeper soil layer.
It can also be seen that the four vegetation types consistently showed a trend of increasing, then decreasing, and then increasing with the increase of soil layers, and the HR peaked at 0–60 cm and 120–200 cm, CK at 60–80 cm, and 100–120 cm, and SC at 80–100 cm layers.
