Different layer of soil in long-term continuous and rotation cropping system was sampled at different stages and their water content determined for studying the soil water dynamics and spatial three-dimensional distribution and discovering the relationship between soil water content and planting pattern.The results showed that soil water content in rotation cropping was increased from sowing to elongation.Soil water content of 0-20cm and 0-40cm was increased by 2mm-4.2mm and 2.6mm-6.7mm of rainfall.The trend of changes of soil moisture content time was the same,but ranges were different.Soil water content was the lowest at elongation and at harvest,the most before freezing.
