摘要
The way in which water and solutes move in aggregated soils depends on the mode of saturation of the pore space that is made up of the micropore region within the aggregates and the macropores surrounding them. When both regions are saturated, a hydraulic‐head gradient causes water to flow preferentially in the macropores with little flow within the aggregates, so that movement of solutes into or out of the aggregates is mainly by diffusion caused by the difference between the solute concentrations of the water in the two regions. When macropores full of water surround unsaturated aggregates, water is imbibed by the aggregates giving rise to convective movement of solutes with the moving water. When the macropores are empty, the aggregates become almost isolated so that redistribution of water and solutes occurs only within the aggregates with very little transport of water and solutes between them. The movement of water and solutes in the micropore region within the aggregates can be considered to behave as if in a continuum, and can be described by Darcy's law and the dispersion equation, with boundary conditions imposed by conditions in the macropores. These physical considerations of transport behaviour in aggregated soils can be used to give guidance on soil management practices concerning drainage and leaching. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell.
