Quantify Piston and Preferential Water Flow in Deep Soil Using Cl<sup>−</sup> and Soil Water Profiles in Deforested Apple Orchards on the Loess Plateau, China
Piston and preferential water flow are viewed as the two dominant water transport mechanisms regulating terrestrial water and solute cycles. However, it is difficult to accurately separate the two water flow patterns because preferential flow is not easy to capture directly in field environments. In...
