Solute diffusivity (ratio of diffusion coefficients in soil and free water, DS/D0) is markedly soil-type dependent. Soil texture and pore size distribution govern the threshold soil-water content (&thetas;th) where DS/D0 approaches zero as a result of discontinuous diffusion pathways. In a recent study (Soil Science 161:633-645), we suggested that &thetas;th can be predicted from the soil-water characteristic curve (SWC) based on the Campbell pore size distribution parameter, b. In this study, the &thetas;th-b expression was recalibrated based on diffusivity data for three soils (Hiroshima sand, Foulum loamy sand, and Yolo loam) measured in this study plus 20 soils reported in the literature, obtaining &thetas;th=0.020b. As the SWC is often not measured, a second &thetas;th expression that requires only knowledge of soil texture and bulk density was calibrated from measured data. A third expression, including both soil texture, bulk density, and Campbell b, was also calibrated and gave the most accurate description of &thetas;th. The solute impedance factor (ratio of diffusivity by volumetric soil-water content), f1 = DS/(&thetas; D0), was shown to increase linearly with the water content available for diffusion, &thetas;a=&thetas;−&thetas;th. The slopes of the f1-&thetas;a relations were similar for most soils and did not exhibit soil-type dependency. Based on this, a so-called constant slope impedance factor (CSIF) model to predict DS(&thetas;a)/D0 is presented. The model can be used in combination with any of the three suggested &thetas;th expressions. Combined with the soil-texture/bulk-density dependent &thetas;th expression, the model accurately predicted solute diffusivities for three independent soils for which the SWC were not known.
