Soil infiltrability is one of most important soil physical properties.The structure and texture of the soils in reclamation areas are quite complex,which results in different infiltration properties from the non- reclamation ones.In this study,disc permeameter was employed to measure soil infiltration properties for different land use types in the Majiata reclamation area of Shenmu-Fugu Dongsheng coal mine.The land use types are:woodland,wild-land,shrub-land,and grassland.The results showed that significant differences were found in soil infiltration properties of the four land use types.The steady infiltration rates of the four land uses under different suction values presented the tendency that was the infiltration rate of 0 cm>-3 cm>-15 cm.The steady infiltration rates of grassland changed remarkably with the suction.The study showed that the coefficients of variation (C_v) of steady infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration are 0.58 and 0.49,respectively.This indicated the two parameters for woodland was intermediately variable.
