abstract = {Models predicting flow and transport in the vadose zone
differ in their conceptual approach, their complexity, and
their mathematical formulation. Four models ( MARTHE, TRACE,
ANSWERS, and MACRO), which differ significantly in their
model concepts and complexity, were applied to a common data
set to evaluate and compare the different model approaches.
Five free-draining lysimeters, cropped with winter wheat,
barley, and oat were used to monitor actual
evapotranspiration soil moisture, and drainage for 627 d.
One of the five lysimeters was also treated with
methabenzthiazuron (MBT), and soil residues as well as
leaching were experimentally determined. In Europe, MBT has
been commonly used as a herbicide for almost 30 years.
Generally, the use of given model inputs is recommended,
apart from plant parameters, which need calibration. The use
of validation criteria revealed proper simulation of water
flow for the four models. After calibration, the Richards'
equation - based models MARTHE, TRACE, and MACRO performed
better for water flow predictions than the capacity-based
ANSWERS. A small amount of preferential flow, which is not
included in the model structures of MARTHE, TRACE, and
ANSWERS, did not influence the simulation of water flow
significantly. But preferential flow was associated with the
leaching of $0.0059\%$ of the mass of MBT, causing relevant
concentrations in the leachate. Leaching could be described
well with MACRO after calibration. The difficulty of
estimating parameters for modeling macropore transport is
seen as an obstacle to common application.},
