Abstract

Using quantification theory I, an analysis of the relation of soil water and qualitative factors, such as, slope degree, slope aspect, slope position, and soil in Wangjiagou watershed area has been done. The study aims to quantify the factors influencing soil water, the descending order of the factors being the slope aspect, soil, slope degree, and slope position, thereby scientifically facilitating division of afforestation site types and afforestation site products digitally on geographical information system (GIS).
