Abstract Soil hydraulic conductivities of topsoils were studied at 5 points of the hillslope transects delineated at 4 geomorphologically diverse areas, where the original soil types (Chernozem, Luvisol and two Cambisols) were due to erosion transformed into different soil unites. Hydraulic conductivities of saturated soils and for a pressure head of –2 cm were measured directly in the field using a Guelph permeameter (K s,GP ) and mini disk tension infiltrometer (K h=– 2 ,MDI ), and in the laboratory using a multistep outflow method (K s,MSO , K h= – 2 ,MSO ). While K s,GP ≈ K s,MSO in the Chernozem and Cambisol (sandy loam) regions, and K s,GP < K s,MSO in the Luvisol and Cambisol (loam) regions. The K s values obtained using different methods showed different trends along the hillslope transects. The K h= – 2 values obtained using different methods showed similar trends along the transects in the Chernozem and Luvisol regions. These trends could be explained by the position within the transects (i.e., different stages of erosion/accumulation processes). No relationships were found between the K h=– 2 values in the Cambisol regions. The pressure head at an inflection point of the a soil-water retention curve was the main parameter, which appeared to associate (negative correlation) with K h=– 2 and K s,MSO in the Chernozem and Luvisol regions.
