Water and nutrient relations in forested on sloping topography greatly affect soil development and site . Water movement in soils is one of the most important affecting soil genetic and characteristics and, in turn, affects the . Knowledge of water movement in forest soils on sloping is necessary for better evaluation of the soil and understanding soil development.
Physical soil , such as effective soil depth, soil , or presence of clay, or stones are tightly connected with site quality. These properties are directly related to the available soil water storage . The influence of soil water is also studied by of precipitation and topography.
The concentration of in water passing through the soil is an approximate measure of translocation and possible loss of from the soil. The nutrient content of leachates has been studied with particular reference to season of the year, soil type and soil .
