Evaluation of soil properties in variously aged Scots pine plantations established on sandy soil
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021 Pines are widely planted for sand dune stabilization and their cultivation results in the changes in physical, chemical, hydro-physical and water repellency properties.

Processes in model slopes made of mixtures of wettable and water repellent sand: Implications for the initiation of debris flows in dry slopes [PDF]
, 2015 Debris flows in slopes initially dry, such as post-wildfire debris flows, are initiated by surface runoff and sediment bulking due to reduced infiltration.

Cover systems with synthetic water‐repellent soils
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract A cover system is a crucial component of engineered landfills, to minimize water percolation into the underlying waste. Capillary barriers are an alternative cover system, which has been widely used in the arid and semiarid regions as no cohesive, low‐permeability materials are used.

Wettability decay in an oil-contaminated waste-mineral mixture with dry-wet cycles [PDF]
, 2015 The dependency of soil particle wettability on soil water content implies that soils subjected to drying-wetting cycles become wettable with wetting and water repellent with drying.

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

Strength and Expansion and Deformation Characteristics of Modified Expansive Soil by Octadecylamine
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Octadecylamine was used as a primary water repellent and mixed into the remodeled expansive soil, and modified expansive soils with different water contents and octadecylamine contents were configured. The water repellency level of the modified expansive soil was determined by the drip penetration time method, the corresponding free, unloaded, and ...

Fire-induced changes in soil properties depend on age and type of forests
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2022 Wildfires affect different physical, chemical, and hydraulic soil properties, and the magnitude of their effects varies depending on intrinsic soil properties and wildfire characteristics.

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]
, 2007 Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Mildly hydrophobic biobased mulch: A sustainable approach to controlling bare soil evaporation
Vadose Zone Journal, 2020 Mulching with polyethylene film is the conventional approach to decrease evaporative water loss from agricultural soils, but it is not environmentally sustainable.

Effect of kaolinite and Ca-montmorillonite on the alleviation of soil water repellency
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2004 The effects of adding 1-3% (weight) kaolinite or Ca-montmorillonite on the wettability of silica sand, made highly water repellent with stearic acid, was studied during wetting and prolonged drying phases at 50°C.
