abstract = {Macroscopic spatial variations in advection velocity lead
to an increase in dispersion with increasing travel distance
or depth. In soils, this increase goes along with a decrease
in decay and sorption of organic substances. We used three
different one-dimensional models that make different
assumptions about the dispersion process to compare
predicted leaching in a 1-m-deep soil profile with layers
with different sorption and decay parameters. The first two
convective dispersive models assume that dispersion results
from microscopic variations in solute particle velocities
that are not correlated across soil layer boundaries. The
third model, a stream tube model ( STM), assumes that the
particle velocity remains constant along its trajectory and
is perfectly correlated in different layers. The three
models were parameterized to predict the same inert tracer
breakthrough curve ( BTC) at 1-m depth. The first
convective-dispersive model assumes a constant dispersion
coefficient ("homogeneous'' convection-dispersion equation
[CDE]). The second model uses different dispersion
coefficients in the different layers ("layered'' CDE) to
predict the same inert tracer BTCs as the STM at the layer
boundaries. Despite similar predictions of inert tracer
BTCs, the models predicted different BTCs of reactive
substances at 1-m depth. The different predictions by the
STM and layered CDE illustrate the importance of the
correlation of solute particle velocities in different soil
layers. They also point to a fundamental problem related to
the use of a CDE with a depth-dependent dispersion to mimic
a dispersion process caused by macroscopic variations in
particle velocities.},
