Soil pores, especially macropores (diam. N1000 μm; Luxmoore,
1981) promote rapid soil water movement through the profile and
allow air and water movement into the soil (Perret et al., 1999; Fox et al.,
2004). Rapid flow in subsurface soil can by-pass the soil matrix and also
transport chemicals and contaminants to deeper horizons (Tuller and
Or, 2002). Wilson and Luxmoore (1988) stated that macropore flow
contributed 73% and 85% of water movement under forested conditions
within saturated and ponded soils, respectively. In addition, better
water drainage and air transport can occur due to more continuous
