Abstract：In order to investigate the soil water content in the different forest-grass composite veg-etation ,the soil water characteristics in six models of vegetation restoration including alfalfa ,pop-lar+alfalfa ,arborvitae+alfalfa ,cork oak+alfalfa ,locust+alfalfa and wild grass were studied .The results showed that the soil water distribution was better in the model of cork oak +alfalfa .Soil water contents in six vegetation restoration models were increased with the soil depth increasing , wild grass model and locust + alfalfa model showing better effects on improving the soil water content in different soil depth .In general ,the soil water content in vegetation restoration models decreased with the slope surface of soil declining ,and the different vegetation restoration models had their advantages on improving the soil water content in the different soil slopes ,of which wild grass model and locust+alfalfa model were better for the top and the middle of soil slope ,and al-falfa model was better for the base of soil slope .On the whole ,locust+alfalfa model was suitable for vegetation restoration in hilly area .
