Abstract
The crust test and a desorption method using undisturbed samples placed in porous cups were applied to measure hydraulic conductivity (K) and moisture retention data in a Humoxic Tropohumult. The crust test measures infiltration rates through a series of man-made crusts with different resistances and subcrust pressure heads. Total porosities were not different but the forest topsoil contained more continuous macropores in the form of compound packing voids while the pasture soil contained less continuous accommodated planar voids. -from Authors
