3.3. Infiltration
Total infiltration volumes during the simulated rainstorms
decreased from 69.5 to 55.9 mm as the applied water treatment
increased from 30 to 70 mm and induced increases in both the
wheat-seedling cover and the antecedent soil water content
(Table 2). Total infiltration volume (69.5 mm) for the 30-mm water
level was significantly higher than those for all other water levels
(P < 0.05). The only other significant difference observed for the
total infiltration volumes was between those of the 40- and 70-mm
water treatments (P < 0.05).
