Through comparing the physico-chemical property of soil in artificial timber land with almond-aprieot of different planting age which was planted on the near plot of land

the varying law of soil water and nutrients was analyzed. Results indicated that the longer age of almond-apricot was

the larger the effects of the physicochemical property of soil were. Water consumption of almond-apricot of two was basic equal to the precipitation in the same stage. Water consumption of almond-apricot was gradualy increased by an increase in the age of almond-apricot. Water consumption of almond-apricot of six already exceeded the precipitation of the same stage

available moisture storage in soil body decreased and soil moisture were gradualy exhausted. Moreover

the concentrations of soil organic matter

nitrate nitrogen

available phosphorus and readily available potassium in artificial timber land with almond-apricot decreased with the age of almond-apricot increasing

soil fertility rapidly fell down. Nitrate nitrogen

available phosphorus and readily available potassium are limiting factors of the growth and development of almond-apricot.
