文档介绍：Dear Editors and Reviewers,
Thank you for your letter and comments on our manuscript titled “Temporal
varrticlealso has” not considered the effect of 40% thinning on
the soil moisture of the Picea crassifolia plantation. However, in the present study, we
applied four years data (from June 27th 2012 to October 30th 2015 in HD and NF;
from January 1th 2014 to October 29 th 2015 in MD and LD) from the natural forest
and the plantations with no thinning, thinned in 20%, and thinned in 40% intensity to
analysis the temporal variability and hydrological responses of soil moisture in
semi-arid Picea crassifolia plantations in northwestern China.
Second, the content of the research was different: The “ previousarticle only”
considered the spatial and temporal dynamic changes of soil moisture, but did not
involve the inter-annual, and seasonal dynamic changes of the soil moisture. In the
present study, however, not only did we considered the effects of thinning on the
spatial and temporal dynamic changes, the inter-annual changes, and seasonal
dynamic changes of the soil moisture; but we also considered the changes in soil
hydrological response after goals were to understand the changes in soil
hydrological response and soil moisture dynamics, and to determine whether thinning
management can effectively improve the state of soil moisture in the subalpine Picea
精选
crassifolia plantations in the Qilian Mountains.
Third,
the research purpose and the result were also different: The
mainly
purpose of
the “ previousarticle was” to
preliminary explore the thinning
on the
plantation forest soil moisture, and they
found that the intermediate thinning can
significantly
increase soil moisture content at the depth of 60 cm. However, they
didn’tpoint out that which or what the thinning intensity or plantation density can be
ben
