Rice production and water scarcity
Bouman et al., 2007
Rice is the most important staple food for nearly half of the world's population. 1 kg rice requires 2-3 ton water, much higher than other cereals Paddy soils mainly distribute in East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia where
drought disasters usually happen

Tillage management (puddling) in Paddy field
Plowing Leveling
Consequences:
1. Control weeds2. Reduce permeability (develop plow pan)3. Prepare soft rice bedsoft rice bed (easy transplanting)
Low bulk densityhigh shrinkage capacityin plow layer

Due to puddling at over-saturated condition, paddy soil easily crack under drying condition (Yoshida and Adachi 2001)
The cracks (area, width or depth) could serve as pathways for preferential flow, governing the rate and the velocity of water and solute transport (Liu et al., 2003; Sander and Gerke, 2007)
Understanding of the relation between crack characteristics and water percolation in paddy soil is critical for water saving management.
Paddy soil cracks and preferential flow

Two paddy fields with different cultivation years:20 years (Young paddy field, YPF)>100 years (Old paddy field, OPF)
Two water management methods:alternate flooding and drying (AFD) continous flooding (CF)
Four treatments:YPF-AFD YPF-CFOPF-AFDOPF-CF

Soil properties of two paddy fields
Plow layer: 0-15 cm; Plow pan: 15-25 cm
The young soil was higher in clay content, and lower in organic carbon than the old paddy soil.

Puddling on cracking in paddy fields
Ultrasonic wave was used to simulate puddling in the field.Soil cracking generally increased with increasing simulated puddling intensity.

Alternate flooding and drying (AFD) on soil shrinkage
Shrinkage capacity (COLE) decreased with AFD, probably
resulting from the increase of bulk density.

Characteristics of soil cracks in 3D
![Page 16: Paddy soil cracks: characteristics and their impact on preferential flow Zhongbin ZHANG and Xinhua PENG Institute of Soil Science, Nanjing, CAS 15, April,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d1a5503460f949ef84d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Preferential flow caused by cracks (dye tracer)
Cracks induced preferential flow. However, preferential flow was reduced considerably by the presence of plow pan.
![Page 17: Paddy soil cracks: characteristics and their impact on preferential flow Zhongbin ZHANG and Xinhua PENG Institute of Soil Science, Nanjing, CAS 15, April,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649d1a5503460f949ef84d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conclusions
Soil cracking increases with puddling intensity, probably resulting from increase of clay-sized aggregates. AFD decreases shrinkage capacity and influences soil cracking patterns.
Cracks geometry (2D and 3D) is different in the YPF and the OPF. Therefore the effect of cracks on infiltration was different in the two soils.
Cracks induced preferential flow in the plow layer. However, the preferential flow was reduced considerably by the presence of plow pan.
