Fig. 3. Schematic representation of the soil–plant system. Surface runoff travels primarily in the top several millimeters of soil (A11 horizon), the thin organic mat (O horizon, which may or may not be present), and in a layer above these. Arrows denote typical characteristics of water movement. Longer arrows indicate greater velocities, and thicker arrows indicating greater volumes of water moving along the indicated pathway.
