Abstract: From 1984 to 1990, the main hydrological factors, including precipitation, interception of canopy, stemflow, soil moisture, runoff and nutrient content in various water, were measured in the 22-year-old plantations of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Pinus massoniana in Fenyi county, Jiangxi pro-vince. The results indicated that the rate of canopy interception was about10.20-17.56%, the stemflow rate was 0.98-1.40%. The soil layers of theplantations were thinner, and water contents of soil were lower, physicalcharacters of hydrology worse, the properties of penetating and reservingwater less. The amount of runoff in forest land was lower, and most of itwa surface flow. The amount of nutrient input with rainfall in forest landwas more than the amount of runoff output. The nutrients of runfall inforest and leaching nutrients (from runoff account for 45-53% of the totalreducing nutrients. ), and the amounts of leaching K, Mg and N nutrientsto the soil of plantation were more than those of litterfall return.

Key words: precipitation, Soil moisture, Runoff, Nutrient cycling, Cunninghamia lanceolata
