abstract = {A dynamic tension-controlled bottom boundary of lysimeters
allows observing water and matter fluxes in lysimeters that
are close to natural field conditions, as pressure heads at
the lysimeter bottom are adjusted to measured pressure heads
at the same depth in the surrounding field. However
lysimeters are often transferred from their sampling
location for practical reasons or to study, for example, the
effect of climate change on soil functions. This transfer
can be accompanied by a change aboveground but also in
subsurface conditions that are used to control the bottom
boundary and that may affect the soil water balance of
lysimeters. This issue is also relevant for lysimeter
stations which use a tension-controlled bottom boundary and
are not directly installed near the site of excavation. The
potential impact of different bottom boundary conditions on
the water balance of lysimeters that were transferred in a
climate impact experiment (SOILCan) was investigated
exemplarily by a numerical study. Results showed that by
using nonappropriate pressure heads, which were measured in
soil profiles with a different texture and water table depth
than the profile where the lysimeter was taken from, had
partially large impacts on soil water fluxes, especially
when the water table was located within a specific critical
range. Different climate conditions between sampling and
installation site were buffered by the soil and did not show
a strong influence on the bottom boundary control of
lysimeters when the groundwater table depth was assumed to
remain constant. Considering a change in groundwater table
depths due to changing climate tempered the effects of
climate change on the soil water balance terms. In general,
results demonstrate the importance of a proper control of
the lysimeters bottom boundary conditions in studies that
investigate the influence of climate change on soil
functions and ecosystem variables by transferring lysimeter
along climate gradients.},
