[Objective] The research focuses on the effect of the different land use types and soil physicochemical properties on saturated hydraulic conductivity.[Methods] The constant-hydraulic head method was used to measure soil saturated hydraulic conductivity(K_s) for different land use types in Simian Mountain of Chongqing City. Regression analysis, correlation analysis and principle component analysis was used to analyze the relationship between K_s and soil physical factors and organic matter.[Results] The K_s was the lowest in wasteland, and the descending order was:forest land > farmland> grassland. The K_s in natural forest was higher than that in artificial forest, and it was negative exponential declined with the increase of the soil depth. There was a power function relationship between K_s and unit weight, and K_s was positively related to soil porosity and negatively related to clay content. The increase of organic matter could improve the K_s.[Conclusion] The unit weight, organic matter, non capillary poropsity and capillary poropsity are the main factors that influence K_s. Besides, soil mechanical composition also has some impact on K_s.
