The objective of this research is to relate RMFs to saturation in a coarse-loamy catena in the lower coastal plain in North Carolina. A relatively undisturbed site in eastern NC was identified and three transects were instrumented with recording wells, redox probes and thermocouples. A rain gauge was also located at the site. In all the soils investigated, ≤ 2 chroma redox depletions related to an average cumulative annual saturation percentage (CSP) of 15%. However, the ≤ 2 chroma redox depletions indicated a larger CSP in the MWD soils (19%) as compared to the SWPD soils (11%). This suggests that ≤ 2 chroma redox depletions do not mean the same thing in all soils.

This study determined whether hydric soil field indicators were related to wetland hydrology requirements. Water table levels were monitored daily for 2.5 yr in a toposequence of nine soil plots that included well to poorly drained members (Oxyaquic Paleudults and Typic Albaqualfs). Monitoring data were used to calibrate a hydrologic model that simulated water table levels from inputs of hourly rainfall data. Forty years of rainfall data were then used with the model to compute long‐term daily water‐table levels in each plot. These data were summarized as “saturation events”, which are the frequency that water tables were at or above preselected depths for at least 21 d. Twenty‐one days was the average period needed for Fe reduction to begin in these saturated soils. This condition must occur for hydric soil field indicators to form. Regression equations were developed to relate saturation events to percentages of redoximorphic features. The r2 values for relationships between percentages of redoximorphic features and saturation events were >0.80 for depths of 15 cm, and >0.90 for depths between 30 and 90 cm. Results showed that the depleted matrix field indicator, in which redox depletions occupy >60% of the horizon, occurred in soils that were saturated for 21 d or longer at least 9 yr out of 10.

This study developed a method to estimate saturation frequency and duration by calibrating redoximorphic features to a 40-yr record of water table simulations in a catena of Atlantic Coastal Plain soils in North Carolina. Thirteen plots were established along a toposequence with moderately well-drained (Aquic Paleudults) and very poorly drained soils (Umbric Paleaquults) as end members. A hydrologic model (DRAINMOD) was calibrated for each plot. Redox potential measurements showed that an average of 21 consecutive days of continuous saturation was sufficient for Fe reduction to occur in the soils. Historic rainfall data were used in the DRAINMOD model to estimate the number of times each plot was saturated for 21 consecutive days or longer in each year of a 40-yr period. Redoximorphic features were significantly correlated with average number of saturation events computed to have occurred at depths of 45, 60, 75, and 90 cm across all soils. Relationships were linear and varied by depth when all soils were analyzed as a single population. The r2 values for relationships between redox depletions and saturation events were >0.85 for saturation occurring during the growing season, and were >0.75 for saturation events occurring at any time during the year.

Hydrologic models can be used to assess saturation occurrence quickly if the models are calibrated for individual sites. This study determined whether a drainage model (DRAINMOD) could predict water table levels in soils with and without a perimeter ditch. Water table levels were monitored for up to 3 yr at two toposequences that contained a total of 21 soil plots (3 m by 3 m). Soils included Typic Paleudults, Aquic Paleudults, and Umbric Paleaquults. Each plot was instrumented with a recording well to monitor daily water table levels. DRAINMOD was calibrated for each soil plot using measurements of in situ saturated hydraulic conductivity, soil water characteristic, depth to impermeable layer, depth of rooting, and rainfall. A plot's water table fluctuation was simulated by a system of virtual drains whose distance and depth were adjusted to produce simulated water table fluctuations in line with those actually measured. Further calibration adjusted drainable porosity in the upper 20 cm of the soil, depressional storage, evapotranspiration rate, and depth to impermeable layer. Adjustments were made by iteration to minimize the absolute average deviation between simulated and measured water table levels. Calibration had to be done by plot. Average absolute deviations were generally <20 cm for periods ranging from 1 to 3 yr. The results showed that DRAINMOD could be adapted to simulate water table levels in landscapes that do not contain a network of parallel drains.}, number={5}, journal={SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL}, author={He, X and Vepraskas, MJ and Skaggs, RW and Lindbo, DL}, year={2002}, pages={1722–1731} } @article{rhoton_bigham_lindbo_2002, title={Properties of iron oxides in streams draining the Loess Uplands of Mississippi}, volume={17}, ISSN={["1872-9134"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0883-2927(01)00112-3}, abstractNote={Iron oxide precipitates are abundant in small stream systems of NW Mississippi, USA especially during the wet winter months. The properties of these specific materials are unknown even though they have the potential to influence soil physical properties and adsorb chemical pollutants in sediment environments. Streamwater and associated precipitates were collected from 4 representative streams at Cedar Creek (CC), Lee's Creek (LC), Spring Creek (SC), and Toby Creek (TC) during winter flow periods. Precipitate specimens were characterized for mineralogy, color, and solubility in oxalate (o), dithionite (d), and HNO3. Chemical composition of the water was dominated by Ca, Na, Mg, and K, in that order, at an average pH of 7.0. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) data indicated that the precipitates were primarily poorly ordered ferrihydrite (CC, TC) and lepidocrocite (LC, SC). The Feo/Fed ratios were 0.40 (CC), 0.68 (LC), 0.66 (SC), and 0.67 (TC). Organic C contents were 80.6, 38.0, 63.0, and 51.3 g kg−1 for the same samples. Precipitate color was uniform among sites, averaging 6.7 YR 4.8/6.2. After oxalate extraction, redness increased slightly in the CC and SC specimens, and decreased in the others. Extraction with dithionite depleted the red color in all specimens, but had less effect on the CC and SC samples which retained hues at 7.9 and 7.3 YR, respectively.

This research was conducted to determine the effects of SOM contents on RO and SL from two highly erodible soils using crops that produce a wide range of residue, in the context of long-term tillage studies in widely separated climatic regions. Rainfall simulator plots, measuring 6.1m×0.9m, were imposed on a 9-year-old corn (Zea mays L.) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) conservation tillage study at Senatobia, Mississippi, and on a similar 34-year-old corn study at Coshocton, Ohio. All RO was collected from two replications of conventional (CT) and no-till (NT) treatments following application of simulated rainfall at an intensity of 50 mm h−1 for 1 h. Soil samples collected in depth increments of 0–1, 1–3, 3–7.6 and 7.6–15.2 cm were characterized for SOM content, aggregate stability (AS), water dispersible clay (WDC) and particle size distribution. Bulk density (BD) samples were collected in increments of 0–3.8, 3.8–7.6, 7.6–15.2 and 15.2–30.5 cm. Overall, RO from the CT and NT treatments averaged 27.8 and 16.5 mm, respectively. SL loss from the CT treatments averaged 3.9 Mg ha−1 and 0 for the NT. BDs in the surface 3.8 cm averaged 1.34 Mg m−3 for CT and 1.26 Mg m−3 for NT. Correlation coefficients (r) for SOM content versus AS, WDC and BD were 0.92, −0.90 and −0.64, respectively. Regression models indicated that BD, as a single-variable, explained 87% of the variability in RO from the NT treatments. BD alone was less effective in accounting for the variability in RO from CT treatments, but contributed to a three-variable model with AS and WDC to produce an R2 of 0.97. These results indicate that as SOM contents gradually increase in NT treatments, RO decreases due to the development of greater porosity in the near-surface zone attributable to enhanced AS at the soil surface.

Concentrations of Fe–Mn nodules also occur in horizons above the fragipan. There is limited documentation regarding the in situ morphology of the nodules or their relationship to the underlying fragipan. The objectives of this study were to document (i) the profile distribution of nodules, (ii) variations in nodule morphology with depth, and (iii) the role of fragipans in nodule formation. Nodules were most common and largest directly above the fragipan horizons. Field and micromorphological observations suggested the nodules formed in remnants of the brittle fragipan matrix as a result of the conversion of Btx material to E′ material (albic material) that isolated and surrounded brittle fragipan peds. The brittle peds that are the precursors to nodules appeared to decrease in size and became more highly impregnated with Fe and Mn oxides with distance above the fragipan. Spatial relationships of Fe concentrations and argillans within the nodules illustrated that the nodules were being formed in place and were not transported despite having distinct borders. With time the glossic horizon expands at the expense of the fragipan, resulting in a horizon consisting of Fe–Mn nodules and a few isolated brittle peds in a matrix of albic material.}, number={5}, journal={SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF AMERICA JOURNAL}, author={Lindbo, DL and Rhoton, FE and Hudnall, WH and Smeck, NE and Bigham, JM and Tyler, DD}, year={2000}, pages={1713–1722} } @inproceedings{hoover_arenovski_daly_lindbo_1998, title={A risk-based approach to on-site system siting, design and management}, booktitle={On-site wastewater treatment: Proceedings of the eighth national symposium on individual and small community sewage systems, March 8-10, 1998, Orlando, Florida}, publisher={St. Joseph, Mich.: American Society of Agricultural Engineers}, author={Hoover, M.
