Description :
The study was performed in the Yangjuangou catchment located in Yan'an City of Shaanxi Province, in the central part of the Loess Plateau. The AA. observe the water infiltration processes under a heavy rainfall during the growing season in 2011. They compare the effects of different soil moisture inputs of 5 vegetation types (crop>grass>subshrub>tree>shrub). The different land cover types clearly influenced the water infiltration and water input amounts in the re-vegetated area.
