Effect of wettable and hydrophobic biochar addition on properties of sandy soil
BiologiaSandy soils have high hydraulic conductivity and low retention ability for water and nutrients, resulting in low fertility. As water retention of coarse-textured soil is substantially more sensitive to the amount of organic carbon than fine-textured ...

Automated Measurement of the Water Drop Penetration Time for the Analysis of Soil Water Repellency
In this work, we develop an innovative system for the automated measurement of Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) - a parameter that is conventionally used for evaluating soil water repellency (SWR).

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 ...
