Soil hydraulic properties (SHP) are affected by agronomic management and fires in agricultural fields. The type of tillage practice, crop residues management, and the severity of fires can affect the soil in various ways. Changed SHP may have a negative impact on infiltration, soil water balance or plant water availability. Although changes of SHP caused by tillage or fires have been vastly studied, such studies are usually restricted to a specific area or do not study the subsequent effect of the changed soil on water movement. In this work, we present a modelling exercise of the intra-seasonal soil water dynamics at several locations, which are subjected to topsoil changes because of tillage management alteration or fire. The effects of direct seeding (DS), minimum, reduced, or another type of non-conventional (alternative) tillage (AT), mulch application (MU), and fire (F) on the soil water dynamics were compared with the effects of conventional tillage (CT). The changes in SHP due to tillage practices were adopted from the literature. All management practices and fires effects were tested using numerical simulation at three European catchments. According to the literature review, compared to CT, the MU and F influence the soil hydraulic properties significantly. DS and AT also influence them, but less significantly. The results of the modelling exercise copy the effect of tillage on the SHP. However, under given wetness conditions of the soil profile DS and AT may also exhibit significant results in soil water dynamics compared to CT.

“…It should be noted that the decrease in moisture evaporation is associated with the issue of moisture separation in the soil due to heat. Along with the employment of grain crops mulch (Meena et al, 2019;Telak et al, 2021), chemical treatment of weeds utilizing herbicides (Smith and Young, 2000), a relatively common method for moisture evaporation reduction during fallowing is the use of mechanical mulch (Kollárová et al;2015, Weninger et al, 2020.…”

“…Periodic maintenance of the upper soil layer by mulch can almost wholly neutralize its capillarity, creating an environment that separates the moisture and the relatively cold soil layer from the dry and warm ground air. Ultimately, moisture evaporation from the uncultivated soil layer is significantly reduced (Weninger et al, 2020).…”

The yield of any crop depends on soil moisture. One of the moisture conservation technological methods is fallow in the form of soil mulch with a layer not exceeding a thickness of 5–6 cm. To create this, a harrow utilizing special working devices was designed. This paper presents the results obtained on the dynamics of changes in soil moisture in a fallow field treated with a new harrowing unit compared to a serial cultivator operating at a depth higher than 6 cm. It was observed that the soil moisture in the harrowed area of the fallow field was 1.4 times higher, while the moisture reserves were 2.2 times higher in contrast to the field with the agrotechnical environment, treated with the sweeps of a serial cultivator. The actual soil tillage depth uniformity reached with the new harrowing unit is higher in comparison to that of the basic cultivator unit because, according to the F-test, the dispersion of fluctuations in the field tillage depth by the former (0.64 cm2) is significantly less than that for the latter (3.24 cm2).
