英文摘要	Topography plays a crucial role in predicting rainfall-runoff processes under climate change, as it affects the spatial distribution of water flow pathways. However, understanding the potential impact of high microtopography heterogeneity on runoff generation remains challenging. We conducted high-resolution monitoring of soil moisture, instantaneous water table, and subsurface runoff in two 3D plots with different soil thicknesses (66 cm vs. 35 cm) in the karst region of southwest China. The topographic features were characterized by the soil thickness, relative elevation, and topographic wetness index obtained from a 1 x 1 m grid. The topography of the shallow-soil plot (SSP) exhibited a higher level of complexity, with a greater variability (approximately 80.0 %) in soil thickness compared to that of the deep-soil plot (DSP; approximately 61.5 %). Additionally, the SSP was prone to forming a micro-topography characterized by a combination of exposed bedrock and soil cover. In DSP, the variation in soil moisture was strongly controlled by surface topography, with elevation contributing to 52 % and 81 % of the explanation for the soil moisture at 30 cm and soil-bedrock interface, respectively. In SSP, the contribution of topography to the variation in soil moisture did not exceed 31 %. The controlling effect of topography on runoff is highlighted in SSP, with the contribution rates of surface and bedrock relative elevation reaching 79% and 97%, respectively.The weaker water storage capacity of the SSP resulted in a higher volume of subsurface runoff (161 t vs. 116 t) and frequency of runoff events (2248 vs. 1994) compared to the DSP. Accordingly, this study emphasizes that the soil-bedrock spatial heterogeneity will control the relationship between soil moisture, subsurface runoff, and terrain, which will contribute to providing a basis for flood prediction and model simulation in regions with complex topography.
