  1. **Denotes that the factor has an extremely significant effect on the horizontal wetting front transport distance (P < 0.01). Values followed by different letters within the same factor differ significantly at P < 0.05 based on the LSD test. The F-value is the statistic of the variance analysis, the larger the value, the greater the influence of the horizontal wetting front transport distance.
