Abstract

Highlights
•We examined the relationships between BTCs characteristics and soil basic properties.
•The silt and clay content significantly affected the degree of preferential flow.
•A two-parameter equation described arrival times at tracer mass recoveries up to 50%.
•Bulk density and particles ≤ 50 μm could accurately predict the breakthrough curves.
