Abstract
A new tension lysimeter, intended for use with isolated, undisturbed soil columns, was developed. Inexpensive, it minimizes problems associated with experimental edge effects. It is essentially chemically inert and permits sampling both saturated and unsaturated flow in soil leaching experiments. Data are presented to illustrate the relatively low variability observed in flow volumes and leachate chemistry between replicate undisturbed soil columns receiving identical treatments.Keywords
