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.

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 ...

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.

Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which

The water repellency of earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) casts depends on their particle size composition, organic carbon content and calcium carbonate content

Soil and Water Research
At the soil level, earthworms are key indicators of water-related processes which help soils to accept, retain, release and transmit water by influencing the soil structure through their burrowing, casts, and drilosphere.
