  		Fig. 1. Resident concentration of the four anionic tracers (Br–, pentafluorobenzoate [PFBA], 2,6-diflurobenzoate [DFBA], and trifluoromethylbenzoate [TFBA]) at the end of experiment in surface layers (a) LA1, (b) LA2, and (c) LA3. Depth is relative to the infiltration surface, which was located 3 cm below the actual soil surface.

  		Fig. 2. Normalized resident concentrations (C is the mean resident solution concentration and C0 is the input concentration) of each tracer vs. application time for all experiments. In each graph, points with the same symbol correspond to the same experiment (four tracers). Linear regression lines are shown for each experiment.

  		Fig. 3. Mass exchange coefficient values ({alpha}) and immobile water fraction ({theta}im/{theta}) as a function of depth in (a and b) Plot 1, (c and d) Plot 2, and (e and f) Plot 3. Measured values are shown as open circles and error bars represent 95% confidence limits of the mean values.

  		Fig. 4. Relationships between (a) the immobile volumetric water content and the total volumetric water content and (b) the logarithm of the mass exchange coefficient ({alpha}, h–1) and the logarithm of the average pore water velocity (v, cm h–1).
