Abstract: In this study, simulated rainfall was applied to study the process of runoff
generation and water infiltration under the cover of herbaceous vegetation at the preliminary
succession stages. Results indicated that at the preliminary succession stages, as soil texture was
loose, water infiltration was high. With the vegetation succession and the accumulation of
organic matter in the soil, both physical and chemical properties of the soil were improved, which
made the soil texture tight, and water infiltration rates decrease. With the progress of the rainfall,
parts of the microbiotic soil crust were destroyed by raindrop impact, and water infiltration rates
were improved. This result indicated that the existence of microbiotic soil crust reduced the soil
infiltration rate. Thus, it is of great importance to improve soil infiltration by destroying the
microbiotic soil crust with proper measures such as grazing in arid and semi-arid areas.
