Soil water repellency has important consequences for ecological and hydrological properties of soils and usually retards infiltration capacity and induces preferential flow. This phenomenon has been known to occur on a wide range of sites under a variety

Effect of Biomass-Burning Emissions on Soil Water Repellency: A Pilot Laboratory Study
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.

The contact angle is a numerical index of differentiation between hydrophilic and hydrophobic soils. The objectives of this research are: 1) assessing different methods such as capillary rise, the molarity of ethanol droplet, repellency index, and ...

Soil hydrophobicity: comparative study of usual determination methods
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

Impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some properties of acidic sandy soils
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.

Time-dependent hydrophobic characterisation of granular materials synthesised with commercial chemical agents [PDF]
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.

Hele-Shaw Flow Near Cusp Singularities [PDF]
This thesis discusses the radial version of the Hele-Shaw problem. Different from the channel version, traveling-wave solutions do not exist in this version.

Impact of duration of land abandonment on soil properties
Abandonment of agricultural fields triggers the ecosystem recovery in the process referred to as secondary succession. The objective of this study was to find the impact of secondary succession during 12 years lasting abandonment of agricultural fields ...
