Abstract

An adjustable but constant water flux can be maintained in the apparatus described and water is applied in the form of drops to the top of the soil column by means of a rain simulator. The soils are not normally saturated with water, but saturation can be effected if required. Aerobic conditions, or anaerobic conditions (produced by storing the columns in an atmosphere of N) can be maintained. A cheap, easy and reliable method is described for removing soil columns down to a depth of 1 m from the field. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
