Fig. 3. Test of the Buckingham-Burdine-Campbell (BBC), Eq. [5], and the macroporosity-dependent (
100), Eq. [7], gas diffusivity models against measured data for 15 undisturbed Andisols. Values of Campbell b and total porosity (
, m3 m-3) for each soil are given. Except for Kyushu 4, the measured value at the smallest and highest soil-air contents correspond to -10 cm H2O (pF 1) and -15000 cm H2O (pF 4.2) of matric potential, respectively, as illustrated in Fig. 3a,f,k.
= soil air content; DP/D0 = relative soil-gas diffusion coefficient, with DP as the gas diffusion coefficient in soil, m3 soil air m-1 soil s-1; pF = Log(-
in cm H2O).
