Preferential flow under high‐intensity short‐duration irrigation events in soil columns from a karst and nonkarst landscape

Abstract Preferential flow through soil macropores is a major cause of rapid transport of contaminants through soils to drainages systems. Knowledge of the extent of macropore flow in different soil systems is crucial for the effective implementation of nutrient management plans. The objective of th...

description	Abstract Preferential flow through soil macropores is a major cause of rapid transport of contaminants through soils to drainages systems. Knowledge of the extent of macropore flow in different soil systems is crucial for the effective implementation of nutrient management plans. The objective of this study was to determine the differences in preferential flow in soil columns characterized by varying contents of coarse fragments with depth and obtained from a regional, pasture‐based karst and a nonkarst landscape. Intact soil columns (40 × 100 cm; two replicates per treatment) were subjected to two Brˉ leaching experiments (BL1 and BL2) which included a pulse application of Brˉ tracer solution (3.02 and 1.15 g L−1 during BL1 and BL2, respectively), each followed by five successive irrigation events (5.67 mm min−1 for 2 min in 30‐min intervals).
