Water–soil interactions: unravelling the processes and stages involved in the wetting of water repellent soils [PDF]
Water repellent behaviour of soils is a widely studied phenomenon given its implications for infiltration, runoff, erosion and preferential flow. However, the principles underlying the eventual penetration of water into affected soils remain poorly ...
