Shallow-depth hardpan attributes influence soil surface and subsurface hydraulic properties
Hardpan development is a crucial factor in determining soil hydraulic properties. Information lacks on how shallow-depth thin hardpans of a few centimeters influence soil surface and subsurface hydraulic properties. The present study aimed to assess effects of thickness of hardpan (THP1), (1.7 g cm−3 bulk density) and depth to the hardpan (DHP2) on initial infiltration rate (Ii), unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K), sorptivity (SW), and steady-state infiltration rate (ISS). Three THP levels (1 cm: THP1, 3 cm: THP3, 5 cm: THP5) and four DHP levels (0 cm: DHP0, 1 cm: DHP1, 3 cm: DHP3, 5 cm: DHP5) were tested in the experiment with a control (no hardpan) in prepared soil columns. Soil hydraulic properties were measured using a Mini disk infiltrometer. All soil columns with hardpans showed significantly lower Ii, K,SW, and ISS compared with the control (p < 0.05). Surface hardpan (DHP0) revealed >90 % decline in Ii, K, and SW compared with the control. At DHP1, Ii, K, SW, and ISS showed 19–44 %, 71–95 %, 43–57 %, and 50–70 % reductions, respectively, at the three thickness levels compared with the control. As DHP increased (DHP3, DHP5), the percentage declines of these parameters gradually decreased, showing their values closer to control at DHP5. Hardpans with 1 cm thickness showed an increase in cumulative infiltration after ∼60 s stagnant period, suggesting a potential for water flow to pass through the hardpan. The Ii showed strong positive linear correlations with SW and K confirming that impeded surface water-entry not only influences surface water absorption, but also influences water movements within the soil. Present study further confirms that both surface and subsurface hydraulic properties can be detrimentally affected as a result of diminished pore geometry due to shallow-depth hardpans. Further experiments are required to explore the effects of shallow-depth hardpans on soil hydraulic properties with different soil types.
期刊介绍:
Catena publishes papers describing original field and laboratory investigations and reviews on geoecology and landscape evolution with emphasis on interdisciplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology and geomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge and foster better understanding of the physical environment, of evolutionary sequences that have resulted in past and current landscapes, and of the natural processes that are likely to determine the fate of our terrestrial environment.
Papers within any one of the above topics are welcome provided they are of sufficiently wide interest and relevance.
