Influence of the output location on the results. Due to the seasonally induced change between desaturation and resaturation, the first decimetres of claystone are characterized by manifold, seasonal effects. The saturation here—in the vicinity of the niche—varies significantly depending on the time and the location. Consequently, numerical as well as measured results depend on the output location. Results from the surface vary significantly from results e.g. at a distance of 25 cm away from the niche (this equals the depth of an anchor). The brown points in the figure mark the output location at the surface of the niche and at the depth of the anchor
