Living mulch (LM) is used in agricultural fields to suppress weeds, control diseases, and mitigate erosion. It also enhances soil nutrient supply at the root death and decay stage during the growing season. However, benefits of LM to soil hydraulic properties related to soil pore structure have not been elaborated here. We focus on temporal changes in soil hydraulic conductivity ( K ) in a field where sweet potato was grown with and without LM (barley, Hordeum vulgare L.). K was measured in the field using a mini‐disk infiltrometer at three different pressure heads. In the plots with LM, K decreased significantly in August and then increased in October compared to plots without LM (at –0.5 cm pressure head). Changes in soil pore structure due to root growth or death and decay may alter soil hydraulic conductivity. |
