Description :
This study examines factors affecting the spatial variability of soil infiltration in cultivated fields in a Mediterranean environment. The study area is a wine growing catchment located near the town of Roujan (Hérault). The factors affecting variability of soil infiltration were analyzed. A simple classification of the topsoil structures is proposed. The results show that 40% of the total variance of observed infiltration rates can be explained either by differences between fields or by differences in local topsoil structure.
