Abstract

Soil moisture， as a key hydrological variable connecting the surface and atmospheric water and heat exchange， affects the land-air water and heat exchange and carbon cycle process.However， due to the difficulty in monitoring soil moisture in alpine mountain areas， there are some difficulties in related research.The study of time stability can reduce the difficulty of soil moisture acquisition by selecting representative points.In this study， the slope of Shangzhangfanggou grassland in Shiyang River basin of Qilian Mountain was selected to set up a high-density and high-time resolution soil moisture monitoring network to explore the temporal and spatial variation and temporal stability of soil moisture on the slope scale in alpine mountainous areas.The research results show that： （1） The surface soil moisture （10 cm， 15.90%） is significantly higher than that in the deep layer （50 cm， 11.78%）， and its temporal variability （Cv T=19.46%） is also stronger than that in the deep layer （Cv T=10.67%）， but its spatial variability （CvS =20.05%） is weaker than that in the deep layer （CvS =27.06%）.（2） The time stability Index of Temporal Stability （0.24） is stronger than that of the deep layer （0.34）， and the surface layer and the deep layer can represent the surface soil moisture of the slope through 3 or 5 soil moisture monitoring points respectively （R 2> 0.90）.（3） Slope position and soil hydrological properties have obvious influence on time stability， and the time stability point is more likely to appear at the position with larger bulk density and smaller shape parameter n under the slope.The research results are helpful to better understand the temporal and spatial variation law， temporal stability characteristics and control function of soil moisture on slope in alpine mountain areas.

Key words： soil moisture; spatiotemporal dynamics; temporal stability; Qilian Mountains
