Abstract:The dynamics of chemical elements in precipitation,throughfall,stemflow,surface runoff and underground runoff have been studied.The results showed that element con-tents in precipitation associated with the amount and its characteristics of a rainfall.Most element contents in throughfall and stemflow increased 2 to 24 times than in pre-cipitation.In Chinese fir plantations,the amount of most elements in surface runoff,such as K,Ca,Mg,Fe,and Cu,were larger than those in throughfall,while most element con-tents in underground runoff were lower than those in throughfall and surface runoff.The results can benefit the physical cycle in forest ecosystem and the large—scale evaluation of environment quality.
