Effect of Biomass-Burning Emissions on Soil Water Repellency: A Pilot Laboratory Study
Fire, 2021 While western U.S. wildfires have increased in intensity and scale, their impacts on soil chemical composition and hydraulic processes have received little attention, despite increasing erosion, surface runoff and flooding.

Mechanism of saline deposition and surface flashover on high-voltage insulators near shoreline:mathematical models and experimental validations [PDF]
, 2019 This paper deals with sea salt transportation and deposition mechanisms and discusses the serious issue of degradation of outdoor insulators resulting from various environmental stresses and severe saline contaminant accumulation near the shoreline.

Soil hydrophobicity: comparative study of usual determination methods
Ciência Rural, 2015 Hydrophobic or water repellent soils slowly absorb water because of the low wett ability of the soil particles which are coated with hydrophobic organic substances. These pose significant effects on plant growth, water infiltration and retention, surface

Time-dependent hydrophobic characterisation of granular materials synthesised with commercial chemical agents [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The impact of hydrophobicity on unsaturated granular materials is important because suction is a function of the degree of saturation as well as the surface tension and contact angle of the water menisci.

Impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some properties of acidic sandy soils
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020 Abandonment of agricultural lands in recent decades is occurring mainly in Europe, North America and Oceania, and changing the fate of landscapes as the ecosystem recovers during fallow stage.

Absorption and rheological phenomena during foam application on textiles [PDF]
, 1992 A simple rheological model has been used to describe foam flow through moving textile assemblies. The validity of this model was tested, and the nature and the relative magnitude of deviations from the model evaluated for several different substrates ...
