Water absorption of xeromor forest floor samples

摘要: Abstract Samples from the xeromor type humus horizon with different initial water cotents were irrigated and absorption studied. Four samples used: litter (AoL), fermentation (AoF) epihumus (AoFH) subhorizons humus-mineral (Ah). The sprinkled continuously under laboratory conditions an intensity of 10 mm h −1 . Irrigated low moisture contents showed lowest rate absorption, whereas in those highest content a quick increase was observed. Two phases distinguished: that total partial outflow. duration first phase about min for two hours higher content. Significant differences connected degree humification. When humification increases, so do properties organic material due to ratios AoL, AoF, AoFH 0.82, 0.36 0.47, respectively. This shows has least effect on humified subhorizon AoL. significantly affect by forest floor.
