Exponential increase of publications related to soil water repellency
Soil water repellency is much more wide-spread than formerly thought. During the last decades, it has been a topic of study for soil scientists and hydrologists in at least 21 States of the USA, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Colombia, Chile,

We integrate natural history and theory to show how higher‐order interactions (HOIs) can restructure competitive networks and influence coexistence in a tropical ant community. The HOI from a parasitoid of the dominant ant species forces the community to move between two dominance regimes, and the interregnum between regimes has multiple interacting ...

ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus [Hemiptera: Cixiidae] is a vector of the two plant pathogenic bacteria ‘Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ causing ‘bacterial potato tuber wilt’ in potato.

Abstract This paper develops the concept of ontological resilience through an ethnographic study of a Sufi‐inspired rural community in southwestern Türkiye. Based on eight months of fieldwork, it examines how resilience is enacted not as a technical adaptation but as an ethical and spiritual practice of living with vulnerability.

Studies of the molecular basis of soil water repellency. [PDF]
To identify the causes of water repellency in soils, a range of water repellent soils and wettable control soils, sampled from five countries (Australia, Greece, Portugal, The Netherlands, U.K.), were studied.

Enhancing Soil Physical Quality with Compost Amendments: Effects of Particle Size and Additives
This research investigates the impact of compost particle size, compost additives, and application rate on the physical properties of loamy sand soil, particularly focusing on water retention characteristics. Compost, enriched with additives like zeolite,

Flexible conformation in organic matter coatings: An hypothesis about soil water repellency
Some soils develop severe water repellency several years or decades following oil contamination. We previously reported that soil water repellency is completely eliminated by extraction with amphiphilic solvents, but barely reduced by extraction with ...

Water repellent soils: a state-of-the-art
Water repellency in soils was first described by Schreiner and Shorey (1910), who found that some soils in California could not be wetted and thereby were not suitable for agriculture. Waxy organic substances were responsible for the water repellency. Other studies in the early 1900's on the fairy ring phenomenon suggested that water repellency could ...
