Researchers studied water conservation functions of different types of vegetation in Daqing Mountain, Inner Mongolia. They found that Larix principis-rup prechtii has the strongest water conservation function, followed by Pinus tabulaeformis and Betula platyphylla. Larix principis-rup prechtii has the highest water-holding capacity in its litter, while Betula platyphylla's soil retains more water. Canopy interception is highest in Pinus tabulaeformis.
