Assessment of Physical and Hydraulic Properties of Three Rockwool Types in Comparison with Wheat Straw and Sawdust as Greenhouse Growth Media [PDF]

علوم آب و خاک, 2023
According to the rapid population growth, the challenging issue of production of economic and suitable food sources has led to greater attention to soilless culture greenhouse production systems.

Assessment of Bark Properties from Various Tree Species in Terms of Its Hydrophobicity and Energy Suitability

Energies, 2023
Wood bark is a by-product of the forestry industry with significant quantitative potential. Due to the higher heating value and hydrophobic character (dictated by the content of hydrophobic extracts in the chemical composition of the bark) facilitating ...

Extent and persistence of soil water repellency induced by pines in different geographic regions

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018
The extent (determined by the repellency indices RI and RIc) and persistence (determined by the water drop penetration time, WDPT) of soil water repellency (SWR) induced by pines were assessed in vastly different geographic regions.

Water repellency in eucalyptus and pine plantation forest soils and its relation to groundwater levels estimated with multi-temporal modeling

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020
Water repellency makes soils capable of resisting to the penetration of water applied on the surface and inflict various influences on groundwater.

Biological soil crusts cause subcritical water repellency in a sand dune ecosystem located along a rainfall gradient in the NW Negev desert, Israel

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016
The biological soil crusts (BSCs) in the NW Negev cause local water redistribution by increasing surface runoff. The effects of pore clogging and swelling of organic and inorganic crust components were intensively investigated in earlier studies. However,

Molecular Characterization of Burned Organic Matter at Different Soil Depths and Its Relationship with Soil Water Repellency: A Preliminary Result

Agronomy, 2021
Soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) prevents water from wetting or infiltrating soils, triggering changes in the ecosystems. This physical property is directly correlated to the erodibility grade of a soil.

The Film-Forming Characterization and Structural Analysis of Pectin from Sunflower Heads

International Journal of Polymer Science, 2021
A natural low-methoxyl pectin (termed AHP, DM=25.9%) was extracted from dried heads of sunflower and showed better film-forming performance blended with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC).

Assessment of the Effects of the 2021 Caldor Megafire on Soil Physical Properties, Eastern Sierra Nevada, USA

Fire, 2023
The Caldor fire burned ~222,000 acres of the Eastern Sierra Nevada during summer–fall 2021. We evaluated the effects of this “megafire” on the physical properties of a sandy soil developed from glacial tills to document fire-induced soil modifications in

Alterations in aggregate characteristics of thermally heated water-repellent soil aggregates under laboratory conditions

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2023
The heat generated during wildfires modifies soil characteristics, including soil water repellency (SWR) and the water stability of aggregates, which are known to be interrelated.

Evaluating Post‐Fire Salvage Logging Erosion Mitigation Treatments in the California Sierra Nevada, USA

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Multiple pairs of mitigation treatments including logging slash, subsoiling, traffic passes and slope were evaluated over time using a rill simulation experiment to determine which treatments were effective at reducing runoff and sediment delivery from logged hillslopes.
