The study looked at how different factors affect soil moisture in a mountainous area in northwest China. They found that elevation has a bigger impact on soil moisture patterns than rainfall. The average soil moisture content is mainly influenced by elevation, and changes in soil moisture over time are also affected by elevation. This shows that local factors, like elevation, play a big role in how soil moisture varies in the region.
