Erratum to “Disentangling the Effects of Land Management and Soil Heterogeneity on Soil Moisture Dynamics”

Abstract

The following three passages and the respective references were not included in the published version. They should have been added to the paragraphs specified below. 4 studied the effects of different land management practices on deep seepage and solute leaching based on soil water content and tension time series measured in 3 m soil depth. The field experiment was designed to study the effects of land use and land management on deep seepage and solute leaching (3; 1). Time series of soil moisture and soil water tension were continually measured in high temporal solution, and soil water samples were taken in different soil depths down to 3 m. The measurements started in 1994 and continue today. Our findings about the small functional heterogeneity at the experimental site confirmed the basic assumption by 2 that relative soil moisture dynamics at different positions in the deep vadose zone are very similar. They developed and tested a field method for quantifying deep seepage and solute leaching based on tension and water content measurements and applied it successfully at 40 plots in northeast Germany (3; 4).
