Effects of different tree species on infiltration and preferential flow in soils developing at a clayey spoil heap
Original language description
Soil recovery is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration at post-mining sites. Water infiltration and preferential flow in soil are important but little studied soil characteristics. In this study, we explore effects of tree species on infiltration, geometry of preferential flows, size distribution and origin of pores, and related properties of soil. An experiment was conducted at post-mining sites developing under monocultures of three tree species (alder, oak and spruce) after lignite mining near Sokolov, Czech Republic. A key hydraulic parameter of soil, field saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), measured in topsoil, was highest under alder and lowest under spruce. In subsoil, there were no significant differences in Ks between tree species. For the alder site, dye tracer tests showed that water penetrates almost uniformly to the top 15 cm of soil depth and with the greatest lateral flow. In a deeper part of the alder soil profile, preferential flow was concentrated around earthworm burrows
