What is it about?
This explains how shallow depth and thin hardpans in soil can influence soil hydraulic characteristics such as infiltration, sorptivity, and hydraulic conductivity.

Why is it important?
It is important because thin and shallow depth hardpans are often neglected as having no significant negative impacts on water movements in soil. This study provides evidence to show even thin hardpans can have significant impacts on soil hydraulic parameters.
Perspectives
It was a great experience that provided lots of new insights during the experiment, as well as during the writing process.
