abstract = {In this study, we examined four tracer displacement
experiments in a large undisturbed soil column under
unsaturated steady-state conditions. Using electrical
resistivity tomography (ERT), we were able to investigate
the corresponding solute transport processes in
unprecedented three-dimensional (3-D) spatiotemporally
resolved detail. In addition, time-domain reflectometry
(TDR) probes and tensiometers provided hydrologic state
variables relevant to transport. One important result from
the study is that despite considerable differences between
soil hydrologic variables of the low- and high-flux
experiments, the 3-D-resolved transport patterns remained
approximately and were aligned to a structural feature in
the topsoil. Furthermore, the ERT image data indicated that
the front evolutions were influenced by spatiotemporal
heterogeneities of the irrigation system. Another result is
the column-scale mixing regime was found to be
convective-dispersive, although the transport process
exhibited heterogeneities at smaller scales. We introduced
an upscaling approach that allowed us to predict the scale
apparent dispersivity on the basis of the
convection-dispersion equation parameters at the scale of
the voxels. The approach proved to be useful to evaluate at
which scale the apparent dispersivity was generated. We the
investigation of the relationship between apparent
dispersivity and lateral scale as a promising tool for
solute transport in future studies.},
