abstract = {To identify soil properties that control transport of
adsorbing solutes in natural soil, we carried out leaching
experiments in undisturbed soil cores taken from three soil
layers of a Stagni-Humic Cambisol. Breakthrough curves
(BTCs) of Cl- and two adsorbing fluorescent dye tracers,
brilliant sulfaflavine (BF;
1H-Benz(de)isoquinoline-5-sulfonic acid,
2,3-dihydro-6-aniino-1,3-dioxo-2-(p-tolyl)-, monosodium
salt) and sulforhodamine B (SB; xanthylium,
3,6-bis(diethylamino)9-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-, inner salt,
sodium salt), were measured. Three cores were scanned with
x-rays to determine the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of
large pores. After the leaching experiment, soil cores were
horizontally sliced and dye concentration distributions on
cross sections were derived from fluorescence signal images.
Transport was investigated using BTCs and concentration
maps, adsorption isotherms., and predictions by three
different transport models: convection dispersion model
(CDM), stream tube model (STM) and physical nonequilibrium
model (PNEM). The dense network of large pores in the two
upper soil layers induced a uniform lateral spreading of
dyes and the CDM described the transport fairly well. In
cores from the deeper layer, the large pore network was
considerably less dense and dye patterns followed closely
the few large pores without lateral mixing indicating
preferential flow and explaining the fast dye breakthrough.
Predictions by the STM revealed that the fast SB
breakthrough could not be explained solely by preferential
flow. Fitting the PNEM to breakthrough data and the low
total dye concentration in the preferential flow region
suggested a small sorption capacity of the preferential flow
region for SB. Therefore, preferential leaching of dyes
resulted from small-scale variations in physical and
chemical soil properties.},
