The presence of soil macropores provides an opportunity for water and associated chemicals to move preferentially through the vadose zone. Most studies on the characterization of macropore flow consider the soil system to be a "black-box". Thus, efforts to describe macropores in quantitative terms have not yet resulted in a comprehensive theoretical framework that allows for a complete representation of their geometry and their effect on preferential flow. Macropore networks in four large undisturbed soil columns (850 mm x 77 mm diameter), were quantified and visualized, both in 2-D and 3-D, using X-ray Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT). Macropore quantification included two-dimensional parameters (i.e., number of macropores, macropore siz...
