Evaluation and modelling of furrow infiltration for uncropped ridge - furrow tillage in Loess Plateau soils

The soil water dynamic process is critical for the design, management, and evaluation of ridge–furrow tillage in the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau. The aim of this study was to determine the effectual infiltration variables, to evaluate the performance of four classical infiltration models, and to investigate the effect of those variables on the infiltration characteristics in a ridge–furrow configuration. Sixteen experimental treatments...
