摘要

Runoff from boreal hillslopes is often affected by distinct soil boundaries, including the frozenboundary and the organic‐mineral boundary (OMB), where highly porous and hydraulically conductiveorganic material overlies fine‐grained mineral soils. Viewed from the surface, groundcover appears as a patchwork on sub‐meter scales, with thick, moss mats interspersed withlichen‐covered, silty soils with gravel inclusions. We conducted a decameter‐scale subsurfacetracer test on a boreal forest hillslope in interior Alaska to quantify locations and mechanismsof transport and storage in these soils, focusing on the OMB. A sodium bromide tracer was addedas a slug addition to a pit and sampled at 40 down‐gradient wells, screened primarily at the OMBand within a 7 × 12 m well field. We maintained an elevated head in the injection pit for 8.5 hr tosimulate a storm. Tracer breakthrough velocities ranged from <0.12 to 0.93 m hr~(−1), with thehighest velocities in lichen‐covered soils. After 12 hr and cessation of the elevated head, thetracer coalesced and was only detected in thick mosses at a trough in the OMB. By 24 hr, approximately17% of the tracer mass could be accounted for. The majority of the mass loss occurredbetween 4 and 12 hr, while the tracer was in contact with lichen‐covered soils, which is consistentwith tracer transport into deeper flow paths via preferential flow through discrete gravellyareas. Slow breakthroughs suggest that storage and exchange also occurred in shallow soils, likelyrelated to saturation and drainage in fine‐grained mineral soils caused by the elevated hydraulichead. These findings highlight the complex nature of storage and transmission of water and solutesfrom boreal hillslopes to streams and are particularly relevant given rapid changes to borealenvironments related to climate change, thawing permafrost and increasing fire severity.
