Use of Clay Dispersed in Water for Decreasing Soil Water Repellency [PDF]
, 2017 In this study, we examined the efficiency of a kaolinite clayey soil to mitigate water repellency of a sandy soil with olive trees. The treatment was applied to the soil zone below the tree canopy, which displayed the highest degree of water repellency ...

Water stable aggregates of Japanese Andisol as affected by hydrophobicity and drying temperature
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014 Hydrophobicity is a property of soils that reduces their affinity for water, which may help impeding the pressure build-up within aggregates, and reducing aggregate disruption.

Small-scale contact angle mapping on undisturbed soil surfaces [PDF]
, 2013 Research of the last years pointed out that most soils are neither completely hydrophilic nor hydrophobic, but exhibit a subcritical level of water repellency (i.e.

Hydrologic behavior of model slopes with synthetic water repellent soils [PDF]
, 2017 In the natural environment, soil water repellency decreases infiltration, increases runoff, and increases erosion in slopes. In the built environment, soil water repellency offers the opportunity to develop granular materials with controllable ...

Spatial Gradients of Intensity and Persistence of Soil Water Repellency Under Different Forest Types in Central Mexico [PDF]
, 2016 Organic residues release hydrophobic compounds to the soil that may induce soil water repellency (WR), which may inhibit infiltration andincrease runoff and soil loss rates.
