AbstractThis study is focused on the comparison of soil structure and soil hydraulic properties of a Haplic Cambisol on paragneiss under two different land managements. Soil samples were taken from all diagnostic horizons (A, Bw and C) of the soil profile under the permanent grass cover (grassland) and under the conventional tillage (arable land). Basic soil properties were measured. Aggregate stability was assessed using the WSA index. Soil composition was evaluated using micromorphological images. Tension disk infiltrometers with two diameters of 2.22 and 10.25 cm (and applied pressure head of −2 cm) and Guelph permeameter were used to measure unsaturated and saturated hydraulic conductivities, respectively. Soil hydraulic properties were measured in the laboratory using the multistep outflow experiment, which was performed on the undisturbed 100 cm

If soil hydraulic conductivity or water holding capacity could be measured with a small volume of samples, it would benefit international fields where researchers can only carry a limited amount of soils out of particular regions. We performed a pinhole multistep centrifuge outflow method on three types of soil, which included granite decomposed soil (Masa soil), volcanic ash soil (Andisol soil), and alluvial clayey soil (paddy soil). The experiment was conducted using 2 mL and 15 mL centrifuge tubes in which pinholes were created on the top and bottom for air intrusion and outflow, respectively. Water content was measured at 5, 15, and 30 min after applying the centrifuge to examine the equilibrium time. The results showed that pinhole drainage worked well for outflow, and 15 or 30 min was sufficient to obtain data for each step. Compared with equilibrium data, the retention curve was successfully optimized. Although the curve shape was similar, unsaturated hydraulic conductivities deviated largely, which implied that Ks caused convergence issues. When Ks was set as a measured constant, the unsaturated hydraulic properties converged well and gave excellent results. This method can provide soil hydraulic properties of regions where soil sampling is limited and lacks soil data.
