In the Spring and Summer of 2021, billions of Brood X cicadas will emerge from the soil, leaving burrows and emergence holes that will potentially affect soil water infiltration rates (the movement of water into soil) and thus surface water and groundwater volumes. The current understanding of how burrowing affects soil water infiltration rates comes from individual locations with localized burrowing, which can limit our understanding of how these biological processes affect large-scale or regional hydrology. By taking water infiltration measurements at many locations in central and southern Indiana with and without cicada emergence holes, this work will advance the understanding of how widespread burrowing can disrupt soil water hydrology. Understanding how this semi-rare cicada emergence (last one was 17 years ago) affects regional hydrology has implications for many environmental science topics such as vegetation water use, river volumes, groundwater table heights, and changes in water quality. The work will also provide valuable research experience for two undergraduate and two graduate students. Results will be disseminated in manuscripts, conference presentations, news releases, and public data portals. In this project, infiltration rates will be measured at multiple locations with and without cicada emergence holes, to improve understanding of how large-scale soil disturbances affect regional hydrology. Using portable infiltrometers in varying landscapes and soils throughout central and southern Indiana, they will measure the influence of cicada emergence holes at two scales: the macropore scale (e.g., one cicada emergence hole) and multi-macropore scale (e.g., many cicada emergence holes). Results generated from this work will improve understanding of how soil disturbance affects infiltration rates, which has important implications for hydrological processes (e.g., surface runoff, groundwater recharge), water quality (e.g., agricultural leeching), and watershed management.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在2021年的春季和夏季，数十亿个雏菊将从土壤中出现，留下洞穴和出现孔，这些洞和出现孔可能会影响土壤水浸润速率（水进入土壤），从而影响地表水和地下水。当前对挖掘方式如何影响土壤水渗透率的理解来自具有局部挖洞的个别位置，这可能会限制我们对这些生物过程如何影响大规模或区域水文学的理解。通过有或没有蝉出现孔的印第安纳州中部和南部的许多地点进行水渗透测量，这项工作将提高人们对广泛的挖掘方式如何破坏土壤水质的理解。了解这种半稀有的CICADA出现（最后一个是17年前）如何影响区域水文学对许多环境科学主题的影响，例如植被用水，河流量，地下水桌高度以及水质变化。 这项工作还将为两位本科生和两名研究生提供宝贵的研究经验。结果将在手稿，会议演示，新闻发布和公共数据门户中传播。在该项目中，将在有和没有蝉出现孔的多个位置进行渗透率，以提高对大规模土壤干扰影响区域水文学的理解。在印第安纳州中部和南部的各种景观和土壤中，使用便携式浸润仪，它们将在两个尺度上测量蝉出现孔的影响：大孔尺度（例如一个蝉出现孔）和多大孔尺（例如，许多蝉出现孔）。 这项工作产生的结果将提高人们对土壤干扰如何影响浸润率的理解，这对水文过程（例如，地表径流，地下水补偿），水质（例如农业掌是）和分水岭的管理层具有重要意义。
