abstract = {Flow and transport in soils and groundwater are greatly
affected by subsurface heterogeneity. We present results
from infiltration experiments on four heterogeneous field
plots (Orthic Luvisol) for plowed and nonplowed conditions.
A2-mm pulse of Br- was applied, followed a 40-mm application
of a 5 g L-1 solution of the food dye Brilliant Blue FCF
(Color Index 42090) in a 6-h period. Horizontal cross
sections were photographed at 0.05- and 0.10-m depth
intervals, representing the A(p) and B-t horizons,
respectively, either immediately or 90 d after the tracer
application. High-resolution spatial maps of Brilliant Blue
concentration were derived from the scanned photographs
using one single calibration relationship between Brilliant
Blue concentration and the color spectra for all plots and
depths. No significant or consistent directional dependence
was observed in the spatial correlation structure of the dye
concentration for the horizontal cross sections. However,
the integral scale showed a distinct depth dependency,
partially caused by horizonation, with a larger value in the
Ap than in the B-t horizon. Disturbed soil samples were
taken at 15 locations for each cross section and analyzed
for Br-. Although Brilliant Blue was retarded in the soil
matrix with respect to Br-, both tracer concentrations
showed an exponential decay with depth because of
preferential flow enhanced by plowing. Only a small fraction
of the dye was subjected to fast transport. The plot-scale
information of the dye distribution revealed that our 15
sampling locations at each depth sufficient to identify the
averaged plot-scale transport behavior in the soil matrix,
but failed to represent the conducting preferential flow
pathways.},
