A laboratory investigation was undertaken in which the movement of nitrate nitrogen through columns of coarse‐textured soil materials was studied. Eight soil materials from the Coastal Plain region of North Carolina were used, and the movement of added nitrates as a function of the porosity of these soils and the quantity of water added to the columns was determined. A multiple regression equation was developed which permitted an estimate of the mean nitrate movement from a knowledge of the value of these two variables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
