Water repellency of soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002
Adverse effects of soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) are of concern during or following rainfall or irrigation, and are often preceded by conditions of high atmospheric relative humidity (RH). Assessments of repellency are, however, commonly conducted on air‐dried samples at ambient laboratory conditions.

Relationship between the severity, persistence of soil water repellency and the critical soil water content in water repellent soils

Geoderma, 2014
Abstract Soil water repellency (SWR) causes reduced soil water storage and enhanced runoff and reduced ecosystem productivity. As such, characterization of SWR is a prerequisite for effective environmental management. The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between the severity of SWR and its persistence and to determine the ...

SOIL-WATER CONTENT DEPENDENCY OF WATER REPELLENCY IN SOILS

Soil Science, 2007
Water repellency (WR) of soils is a global phenomenon. It affects hydrological processes such as infiltration, preferential flow, and surface erosion. Although the soil WR varies nonlinearly with soil-water content (w), WR is often determined at one fixed soil-water content. For a coarse sandy soil, we provide a comparison of the whole WR-w curve under

Soil Water Repellency in Reforested Sandy Soils

2023
Agriculture on sandy soils in Poland was not economical, and in the 1990s, cultivation in these areas was largely abandoned. Consequently, they were mostly overgrown with secondary pine forests, and post-agricultural land in the state forests increased to 22%. The field studies of Albic Podzol overgrown with Pinus sylvestris L.

Water Repellent Soils

2018
Capillary forces in unsaturated soils depend on the surface tension of water, the dimensions of soil pores and on the contact angle of the interfaces of the solid phase of soil (soil matrix) and liquid water. The contact angle (angle of wetting) is assumed to be zero, but in real soils is higher, depending on the properties of the thin surface layer ...

Soil Water Repellency

1992
Water repellent soils exhibit hydrophobic properties when dry, resisting or retarding water infiltration into the soil matrix (Brandt, 1969a). Infiltration rates may be reduced by an order of magnitude, even in soils which visually appear to wet “normally” (Wallis et al., 1991).
