The study was conducted in three different forests of Jiuzhaigou World Nature Heritage Reserve. Surface runoff were simulated and the relationship between runoff and surface traits(herb cover
bryophyte cover
litter cover and slope gradient) and soil status(initial water content and humus thickness) were exploited. It was found that:(1) Under the same rain intensity and time
the surface traits including herb cover
bryophyte cover and litter cover strongly impacted surface runoff intensity
but soil status only displayed tiny action on it. (2)In the same slope gradients
very small differences of surface runoff intensity among different forest type were found. (3) In the same forest type
under oak forest
surface runoff changing along with slope gradients increased. Under forests mixed with spruce and oak trees and fir forest
very small differences of surface runoff intensity among different slope gradients were found.
