Water infiltration of the soils from Pico de Orizaba Protected Park.

ECOPICS Project : In situ Infiltration tests Field campaign June 2018 by Beatriz Marin-Castro, Eduardo Hernández Hernández Last modification : February 2019 by Beatriz E. Marín-Castro The value of Kfs was calculated according to the method of Wu2 (Wu et al., 1999), using a quasi-steady infiltration rate in a single ring infiltrometer (Fig. 1). Each plot has an unique name made of : <strong>Altitudinal</strong> band : from 3400 to 4400 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <strong>SWC0 </strong>and <strong>SWCf</strong> are mean soil water content before and after the infiltration test, made with a TDR <strong>Kfs</strong> is the mean hydraulic conductivity (cm/h) <strong>Ksat</strong> is the laboratory saturated hydraulic conductivity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information about the method : <strong>Wu</strong>, L., Pan, L., Mitchell, J., &amp; Sanden, B.
