Vol. 37, No. 6, November/December 1994, p. 1783-1790.# of Pages: 8 Publishing Information: St. Joseph, MI Keywords: TIC Keywords: Buffer zones ; Loam soils ; Matric potential ; Soil water ; Soil infiltration ; Water uptake ; Soil field water balance ; Subsurface hydrology Abstract/Contents: "Matric potential was measured in a grass and forest riparian buffer system adjacent to a cropped field in the Georgia Coastal Plain. The soil in the adjacent cropped field is a Tifton loamy sand, containing an argillic subsurface horizon with plinthite at approximately 1 m which has been shown to restrict vertical infiltration and induce lateral flow. Two years of matric potential data and measurements of soil hydraulic characteristics were examined to evaluate and quantify unsaturated water flow in the riparian buffer. The lowest soil matric potential occurred at the grass/forest interface, and the greatest surface infiltration occurred within 10 m downslope of the same interface. The area of low matric potential was likely due to water uptake by trees. Water flowed laterally through the unsturated soil into the riparian area from the upland field, apparantly induced by low vertical conductivity in the subsurface and driven by the high water demand of the forest."
