Soil moisture, also known as soil humidity. It is the moisture that remains in the pore space of the soil. The main source of soil moisture in Qinghai spruce forest is atmospheric precipitation, which is the only source of water absorption of Qinghai spruce to survive. The data is the soil moisture of Qinghai spruce forest in Pailugou of Heihe River Basin measured by the EM50 soil moisture meter produced in the United States.
