Precipitation is the main source of soil moisture recharge in the gully region of the Loess Plateau, and soil moisture is the main and most important water resource for vegetation activities in semiarid regions. To identify the contributions to soil moisture replenishment from rainfall of different intensities, this study conducted a soil moisture monitoring experiment involving continuous measurements at 30-min intervals in areas of Robinia pseudoacacia artificial forestland, Pinus tabulaeformis artificial forestland, and grassland from 1 March to 31 November 2017. The results indicated that there was a positive relationship between the infiltration coefficient and precipitation until the relationship obtained a stable value. When the precipitation was greater than 30 mm, soil moisture was replenished up to the 150 cm soil layer in grassland, and when the precipitation was greater than 40 mm, soil moisture was replenished up to the 150 cm soil layer in P. tabulaeformis artificial forestland. However, only precipitation greater than 50 mm replenished the soil moisture at the 150 cm soil layer in R. pseudoacacia artificial forestland. These three vegetation communities play important roles in soil and water conservation during ecological restoration. The results of this study can guide vegetation configurations in vegetation recovery and reconstruction efforts in the gully region of the Loess Plateau.
