Water repellency reduces soil CO2 efflux upon rewetting [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 Carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux from soil represents one of the biggest ecosystem carbon (C) fluxes and high-magnitude pulses caused by rainfall make a substantial contribution to the overall C emissions. It is widely accepted that the drier the soil, the larger the CO2 pulses will be, but this notion has never been tested for water-repellent soils.

Ferrihydrite coating reduces microplastic induced soil water repellency
Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2023 Addition of microplastics (MP) to soil has the potential to increase soil water repellency. Absorption of soil abundant substances on MP surfaces has the potential to overcome MP inherent hydrophobicity.
