Dye Tracer Visualization of Infiltration Patterns in Soils on Relict Charcoal Hearths

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Anthropogenically modified soils are often characterized by a high heterogeneity of substrates and show unique patterns of water infiltration. Such effects are not limited to intensively used or disturbed agricultural and technogenic soils, but can also ...

Use of soil moisture dynamics and patterns at different spatio-temporal scales for the investigation of subsurface flow processes [PDF]

, 2009
Spatial patterns as well as temporal dynamics of soil moisture have a major influence on runoff generation. The investigation of these dynamics and patterns can thus yield valuable information on hydrological processes, especially in data scarce or ...

Relationships between soil water repellency and microbial community composition under different plant species in a Mediterranean semiarid forest [PDF]

, 2014
Soil water repellency (SWR) can influence many hydrological soil properties, including water infiltration, uneven moisture distribution or water retention.

Effects of controlled fire on hydrology and erosion under simulated rainfall

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2014
Mediterranean forests are frequently subject to wildfires, inducing risks of high runoff and loss of nutrient-rich topsoil. The mechanisms influencing these post-fire effects are spatially variable due to differences in vegetation density, litter ...

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.
