Abstract: The study with completely randomized design on Loess Plateau showed that soil water storage,water consumption,and water profit and loss had apositive correlation with the amount of irrigation.Managed with light,moderate and excessive pruning,soil water storage was increased by 0.2%,0.5% and 0.9%,soil water consumption was reduced by 0.5%,2.0% and 2.5%,while soil water profit and loss was increased by 150%,190% and 210%,respectively.Under treatments with irrigation,covering with grass,mulching with plastic film,and pruning,soil water storage was increased by 4.4%,1.2%,1.6% and 0.5%,respectively.Irrigation,moderate pruning,covering with grass,and mulching with plastic film could increase leaf water potential and the angle between little leaf and stem,and excessive pruning could increase the chlorophyll content at most extent (0.27 mg·dm-2).The angle between little leaf and stem had a positive correlation with leaf water potential,which could be a reliable,direct and punctual index in evaluating the water condition of walnut and soil,and applied extensively in practice.
