abstract = {Volcanic soils exhibit particular physical-chemical
properties (i.e., strong and stable natural aggregation and
high content of variable-charge minerals) that may influence
solute transport. To determine if such techniques like TDR
and inverse modeling are useful for analyzing solute
transport in volcanic soils, we studied the governing
transport processes by means of a miscible displacement
experiment of Br- in a large undisturbed soil monolith.
Bromide resident concentrations at several depths were
monitored successfully with TDR technology, while parameters
for the convective - dispersive (CDE) and mobile immobile
(MIM) transport models were estimated by inverse modeling.
For the relatively high soil moisture conditions, typical of
high frequency-irrigation systems that we considered, Br-
was found to move slowly by convection - dispersion.
Simulations with the CDE and MIM transport models yielded
very similar results. Although Br- is generally assumed to
behave as a tracer, we found that anion in our experiment
was subject to adsorption at the bottom of the monolith.
This may be explained by the variable-charge nature of the
minerals Fe and Al oxihydroxides) present in this volcanic
soil, which exhibited anion exchange when the pH of the soil
solution decreased below the zero point of charge.},
