Knowledge of soil moisture spatial variation with land use along the precipitation gradient is necessary to improve land management and guide restoration practice in the water-limited Chinese Loess Plateau. This study selected 45 sampling points at 11 sites across the north-south transect of the Loess Plateau based on the precipitation gradient and land use. Results showed that the vertical profiles of soil moisture revealed large variations with the precipitation gradient changing, especially in the surface layer (0-100 cm). Significant linear correlation existed between the average soil moisture of the profile and the mean annual precipitation (MAP) for each land use type (p grassland > shrubland > woodland, while it might be higher under the woodland than the shrubland in the surface layer in regions with MAP
