LABORATORY STUDY. Ten 1-y-ear-old n(urserv see(llings of loblolly pine Nwere grown for 9 maolnths in pots of silt loam soil. Theni five were allowed to deplete soil mloisture to near the wvilting point and five were kept watere(l.
Miscible displacement processes with time‐varying velocity and dispersion coefficients are examined. Simplified solutions utilizing arbitrary initial conditions are presented and used to simulate step and slug inputs of solutes into soil during infiltration of water. The solutions are used in the analysis of experimental data, both for field infiltration with a slug of solute and for psychrometric measurements of salt fronts in a laboratory sand column. Experimental data obtained for solute movement was more accurately described using time‐increasing dispersion relationships than for constant values.
JSTOR is a not-for-profit service that helps scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content in a trusted digital archive. We use information technology and tools to increase productivity and facilitate new forms of scholarship. For more information about JSTOR, please contact support@jstor.org.
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.
