Ground Fire Legacy Effects on Water-Dynamics of Volcanic Tropical Soils

Spanish Journal of Soil Science, 2023
The forest floor is a critical component in maintaining the life cycles of forest ecosystems. It normally includes organic soil horizons, known as duff and litter, which are prone to be rapidly consumed after flaming and smoldering fires.

Critical conditions for the wetting of soils [PDF]

, 2006
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota and in determining whether flooding and soil erosion will occur. The analysis used in common measurements of soil hydrophobicity makes the assumption that water always enters soils ...

Impact of Duration of Land Abandonment on Infiltration and Surface Runoff in Acidic Sandy Soil

Agriculture, 2022
Sandy soils are less fertile and, therefore, often abandoned in the Central European region. Land abandonment can cause the recovery of ecosystems by the replacement of crop species by vegetation that disperses from surrounding habitats and will be ...

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.

Initial water repellency affected organic matter depletion rates of manure amended soils in Sri Lanka

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014
The wetting rate of soil is a measure of water repellency, which is a property of soils that prevents water from wetting or penetrating into dry soil.

Eucalyptus reforestation induces soil water repellency [PDF]

Soil Research, 2015
There is an increasing interest in eucalypt reforestation for a range of purposes in Australia, including pulp-wood production, carbon mitigation and catchment water management. The impacts of this reforestation on soil water repellency have not been examined despite eucalypts often being associated with water repellency and water repellency having ...

Impacts of grass removal on wetting and actual water repellency in a sandy soil

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
Soil water content and actual water repellency were assessed for soil profiles at two sites in a bare and grasscovered plot of a sand pasture, to investigate the impact of the grass removal on both properties.
