Abstract: The saturated infiltration coefficient and effective porosity of two undisturbed soils taken from typical original forests in Changbai Mountain Natural Reserve were determined, and the mathematical models of them in different soil depth were established by regressive analysis, which are Ks(z)=K0-f1 lna2z and ω(z)=ω0-f2 lna2z .Acomparison of these logarithmic models with the Beven's exponential models shows that the formers are more accurate and more reasonable for forest catchment.
