Water Repellence of Cultivated Organic Soils

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Soil & Plant Science, 1996
Abstract A range of cultivated organic soils was studied with respect to water repellence. All soils were wettable above a water content of approximately 30-50 % (v/v). Below this critical content, most soils showed a varying degree of water repellence. Well decomposed peat had lower infiltration rates than moderately decomposed peat.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Processes in model slopes made of mixtures of wettable and water repellent sand: Implications for the initiation of debris flows in dry slopes [PDF]

, 2015
Debris flows in slopes initially dry, such as post-wildfire debris flows, are initiated by surface runoff and sediment bulking due to reduced infiltration.

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Study on Water Repellency Modification of Strongly Expansive Soil

Renmin Zhujiang, 2022
To study the inhibition effect of water-repellent sand on the expansion rate of expansive soil,this study takes the strongly expansive soil of weathered slopes as an example and adds octadecylamine into sand as water repellent agents to improve the ...

Evaluation of soil properties in variously aged Scots pine plantations established on sandy soil

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021
Pines are widely planted for sand dune stabilization and their cultivation results in the changes in physical, chemical, hydro-physical and water repellency properties.

Occurrence and spatial pattern of water repellency in a beech forest subsoil [PDF]

, 2016
Most recent studies on soil water repellency (WR) were limited to the humous topsoil or to shallow subsoil layers slightly below the main root zone to approximately 0.5 m depth.

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Intensity and persistence of water repellency at different soil moisture contents and depths after a forest wildfire

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2022
The Mediterranean mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest of Moarda (Palermo) was affected by a large wildfire in summer 2020. In spring 2021, burned and unburned loam soil sites were sampled and the water drop penetration time (WDPT) and ethanol ...

Effects of Pitfall Trap Preservative on Collections of Carabid Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Effects of six pitfall trap preservatives (5% acetic acid solution, distilled water, 70% ethanol, 50% ethylene glycol solution, 50% propylene glycol solution, and 10% saline solution) on collections of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were studied
