| Abstract: | Nitrate and chloride transport in loess monolithes under quasistationary conditions The transport of nitrate and chloride has been investigated in an experiment with loess-monolithes under non-steady conditions and by a simple mathematical simulation technique approximating non-stationary flow by quasi-stationary conditions. Six precipitation cycles were followed by analysing soil solution drawn off by means of porous cups from the soil columns at different depths and times. At all times, the simulated “pure” transport profiles compare reasonably well with the experimental profiles. In the columns, however, nitrogen mineralisation took place during and before the experiment. |
