To investigate the phenotypic plasticity in response to theheterogeneous soil water supply, ramet pairs of the species were subjected to heterogeneous watersupply by which either mother ramets or daughter ramets were in high or low soil water supply, respectively,in the Maowusu (Mu Us) Sandy Land of Nei Mongol.

The Study on Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Soil Moisture under Different Land in the Loess Region of West Shanxi;

The measurement of soil hydro-physical properties under broadleaved Korean pine and dark coniferous forests on the northern slope of Changbai Mountains showed that under these two forest types, soil bulk density and porosity had the same variation trend with increasing soil depth, i.
