| Abstract | The study of some soil physical properties and its water storage capacity was analyzed to determine the physical properties influencing soil water storage capacity. We compared the soil moisture holding capacity (SMwhc) and soil moisture saturated soil conditions (SMsat) in a mixed deciduous forest and area under maize crop at the Na Luang sub-watershed, Nan province. The results indicated that the mixed deciduous forest had a significantly greater amount of organic matter in the soil and higher soil porosity relative to the area under maize crop (p-value?0.05). For both the soil moisture properties (soil water holding capacity; SMwhc and saturated soil moisture; SMsat), we observed that mixed deciduous forest areas had a higher soil water storage capacity than area under the maize crop (288.02 and 336.71 cubic meters per rai, respectively). As for the area under maize crop, soil water storage capacity was 268.94 and 318.43 cubic meters per rai, respectively. The soil water storage capacity was highly positively correlated with the total porosity of the soil, soil organic matter, and clay percentage but a statistically significant negative relationship was determined with the soil bulk density. |
