Molecular Characterization of Burned Organic Matter at Different Soil Depths and Its Relationship with Soil Water Repellency: A Preliminary Result [PDF]

Agronomy, 2021
Soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) prevents water from wetting or infiltrating soils, triggering changes in the ecosystems. This physical property is directly correlated to the erodibility grade of a soil.

Application of actinomycetes to soil to ameliorate water repellency [PDF]

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2002
The aim of this study was to develop a novel isolation technique using a mixture of Bacillus and Streptomyces phages to selectively isolate wax-utilizing non-streptomycete actinomycetes effective in ameliorating water repellency in a problem soil.Phages added to a soil suspension reduced the dominance of Bacillus and Streptomyces isolates and ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Soil Water Repellency in Urban Parks of Berlin

Soil Systems
Urban green spaces are important components of city spaces that are vulnerable to degradation in soil–water–climate processes. This vulnerability is exacerbated by current climate change and park usage density.

Water-repellent soil and its relationship to granularity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity: a materials science view [PDF]

, 2005
Considerable soil water repellency has been observed at a wide range of locations worldwide. The soil exhibiting water repellency is found within the upper part of the soil profile.

Effect of Particle Size on Droplet Infiltration into Hydrophobic Porous Media As a Model of Water Repellent Soil [PDF]

, 2011
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota, and in determining the risk for preferential flow, surface runoff, flooding,and soil erosion. The molarity of ethanol droplet (MED) test is widely used for quantifying the severity

Transitions of water-drop impact behaviour on hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles [PDF]

, 2013
Extreme soil water repellency can have substantial implications for soil hydrology, plant growth and erosion, including enhanced splash erosion caused by raindrop impact.

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishinent of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Effects of hydrophobicity on splash erosion of model soil particles by a single water drop impact [PDF]

, 2013
Raindrop impact can be a major contributor to particle mobilization for soils and other granular materials. In previous work, water repellent soils, comprised of hydrophobic particles, have been shown to exhibit greater splash erosion losses under ...

Modelling of water droplet dynamics on hydrophobic soils: a review [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The hydrophobicity of soils (or soil water repellency) can be naturally promoted by wildfires or synthetically induced by hydrophobic compounds (polydimethylsiloxane, tong oil, etc.). Soil phenomena can be related to hydrophobicity, such as soil erosion (

Self-organization of hydrophobic soil and granular surfaces [PDF]

, 2007
Soil can become extremely water repellent following forest fires or oil spillages, thus preventing penetration of water and increasing runoff and soil erosion. Here the authors show that evaporation of a droplet from the surface of a hydrophobic granular
