Abstract

Aims: Hydraulic conductivity plays an important role in the evaluation of various soil functions, which in turn may become decisive in urban development plans. Different approaches to measure hydraulic conductivity often inhere in methodological artefacts. To a ddress the su bjected soil volume as well as different measurement approaches, in situ measurements using a constant - head permeameter were compared to lab - determined hydraulic conductivities of soil cores at adjacent soil profiles. Methodology: At a forest, an arable, and a grassland site in a catchment in Northern Bavaria retention characteristics as well as hydraulic conductivities were quantified for 100 cm³ - and 250
