Abstract:Soil macropores and hydraulic conductivity are important indexes used to describe soil hydrology. In the dry-hot valley region of Southwest China, with its dramatic seasonal dry–wet rhythm, soil properties and hydraulic conductivity can reflect unique dynamics as determined by the interaction between land use and the seasonal dry–wet cycle. In this study, the soil macropore characteristics and hydraulic conductivity of five land uses (traditional corn, plum orchard, pine forest, grassland, and abandoned cropla… Show more
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.
