Riparian Vadose Zone Preferential Flow: Review of Concepts, Limitations, and Perspectives

Riparian ecosystems are hotspots for macropore flow due to their biogeomorphology. Macropore prevalence can reduce riparian buffer pollution mitigation effectiveness. Characterization of macropore morphology and connectivity is needed in riparian zones. An effect of seasonal shallow water table on macropore flow is proposed. Integration of infiltration–soil moisture–macropore flow model into design tools is needed.
