Soil water repellency: Comparison between individual particles and bulk properties. [PDF]

, 2009
Two different methods for probing soil particle surfaces were tested and applied to particles from natural soils to examine soil water repellency arising from organic coatings on their surfaces.

Factors injecting effectiveness of two surfactants on water-repellent soils

California Agriculture, 1970
WATER-REPELLENT soils are characterized by two undesirable physical properties: low water infiltration rate, and high runoff. Such soils have been reported in many parts of the world under various conditions, however, one of California's real practical ...

Soil surfactant stops water repellency and preferential flow paths

, 2008
This study reports the effects of a soil surfactant on reduction and prevention of water repellency and preferential flow paths in a sandy soil of a golf course fairway, located at Bosch en Duin near Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Soil attributes related to water repellency and the utility of soil survey for predicting its occurrence

, 1994
The incidence and severity of water repellency was related to five soil class (FC I-V), based on the field texture and dry consistence of the soil surface horizons, derived from a soil survey near Jerramungup, Western Australia. Water repellency was most

Dynamic Soil Water Repellency in Hydrologic Systems [PDF]

, 2016
Dynamic soil water repellency is an important soil phenomenon in the vadose zone as it is now recognised that most soils in the world are likely to express some degree of reduced wettability and/or long term hydrophobicity.

Impact of Soil Water Repellency on Hydrological and Erosion Processes; A Review

, 2018
Introduction Soil water repellency was first reported in the first half of the 20th century for peat soils. Depending on the severity of water repellency, a water repellent soil will resist water penetration during seconds to hours or even days. This has

A multivariate framework for interpreting the effects of soil properties, soil management and landuse on water repellency

, 2000
This paper reviews recent progress in relating the incidence of water repellency to other soil attributes, relating the severity of water repellency to different soil management and landuses and determining the value of soil survey in predicting the risk
