Abstract
Solute leaching through soil is strongly influenced by hydrodynamic dispersion, which is mechanically related to diffusion and mass flow, but which increases functionally with increasing solute travel distance [6, 7]. As a soil pedon is composed of various horizons with different types of soil structure arranged in a hierarchial manner [4], the dispersion status through a pedon is governed by many complex factors. Therefore, the dispersion coefficient is used as a curve-fitting parameter in mechanistic prediction models [7].
