Abstract
Preferential pathways are crucial channels for water and solute infiltration. To better investigate the features of flow pathways in forest soils, multi-tracer (Brilliant Blue and NaBr) experiments were conducted in pure forests dominated by Quercus variabilis BI., and Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco., respectively. Additionally, the total infiltration depth of 40 mm was selected. In the soil
layer of 0–30 cm, both tracers were mainly accumulated in the soil layer of 0–20 cm, where roots abundant. The spread area of Br- was wider and deeper than that of BB. In the preferential pathways, the content of both tracers with a weak separation was larger than that in the surrounding soil matrix. In conclusion, our results indicated that... (More)

In conclusion, our results indicated that larger part of solute is transported along macropore pathways formed by roots in forest ecosystem. (Less)
