dc.description.abstractThe underlying objective of this research is to improve the overall understanding of how spatial and temporal variability in macroporosity and soil hydraulic properties in the shallow subsurface influence the long term mobility of agricultural nutrients, and specifically the movement of liquid swine manure, in macroporous, tile drained soils. The principal motivation for the work was to provide insight into dynamic nutrient mobility in this type of agricultural environment in order to guide both the efficiency and environmental sustainability of nutrient management practices. The results of this work facilitate the advancement of our conceptual understanding and our ability to simulate preferential flow and transport in structured agricultural soils that are subject to seasonal hydrologic patterns similar to those found in the humid continental climate of southwestern Ontarioen
