[Objective] To investigate soil infiltration and its impact factors in different landscape types in order to provide references for the conservation and sustainable development of the cultural heritage in the Hani rice terraces of Honghe Autonomous Prefecture.[Methods] Seven sample plots located in different landscape types including grassland, forest land, dry farmland and tea garden land were selected. Soil moisture infiltration meter Hood IL-2700 was used to measure soil infiltration. The impacts of litter water holding capacity and soil physical features on soil moisture were analyzed.[Results] Due to the impacts of human utilization, soil infiltration capacity of the sub-ecosystem of forest and grassland was ranked as:natural forest > secondary forest > planted forest, and waste grassland > fern grassland. At the four types of landscape scale, soil infiltration capacity ranked as:tea garden land (which was plowed) > grassland > forest land > farmland (which was during the un-planting season). It indicated that human activity had a significant impact on soil infiltration. Correlation analysis between soil infiltration and its influencing factors showed that, except for the tea garden land, the soil infiltration in the other landscape types significant related to the indices of litter and soil physical property.[Conclusion] The soil infiltration capacity of the four landscape types are significantly different, and the features of litter and soil physical properties are the key factors that influence soil infilration.
