Testing soil water repellency in a Sicilian area two years after a fire

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2019
The water drop penetration time (WDPT) technique was applied in 2018 to check persistence of soil water repellency (SWR) in a Sicilian mountain area affected by a wildfire on June 2016.

Post‐application irrigation effect on surfactant efficacy applied to a sand‐based putting green

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Soil surfactants are applied to recreational turfgrass areas like golf course putting greens to help improve water infiltration, distribution, and uniformity. Most commercially available surfactant labels recommend immediate post‐application irrigation (PAI) to maximize product efficacy.

Small variations of soil properties control fire-induced water repellency [PDF]

Spanish Journal of Soil Science, 2014
Fire induced soil water repellency (WR) is controlled by many different factors (temperature reached, amount and type of fuel, etc.). Soil properties may determine the occurrence and intensity of this property in burned soils.

Role of Caustic Addition in Bitumen-Clay Interactions [PDF]

, 2015
Coating of bitumen by clays, known as slime coating, is detrimental to bitumen recovery from oil sands using the warm slurry extn. process. Sodium hydroxide (caustic) is added to the extn.

BEST-WR: An adapted algorithm for the hydraulic characterization of hydrophilic and water-repellent soils [PDF]

, 2021
Water-repellent soils usually experience water flow impedance during the early stage of a wetting process followed by progressive increase of infiltration rate. Current infiltration models are not formulated to describe this peculiar process.

Effects of Acacia dealbata Invasion and Removal on Soil and Vegetation in Communal Grasslands in Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Acacia dealbata has invaded South African grasslands, yet few studies have assessed its invasion and clearing effects on grasslands. We assessed the soil (moisture, repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity) and vegetation (diversity, composition and cover) impacts of A.

The influence of irrigation with Lake Kinneret water on the chemistry of soils in the headwater basin

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract The farming areas in the catchment of Lake Kinneret basin are irrigated with Dan Spring waters, characterized by a concentration of 10 mg/L of Cl. Climate change simulation predicts that by the year 2050, the flow of the headwater springs will drop by 20%, a finding that poses a significant threat to the future of farming in the basin.

Droplet infiltration dynamics and soil wettability related to soil organic matter of soil aggregate coatings and interiors

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016
The organo-mineral coatings of soil aggregates, cracks, and biopores control sorption and macropore-matrix exchange during preferential flow, in particular in the clay-illuvial Bt-horizon of Luvisols.

Water repellency in forest soils affected by fires and agricultural soils with different agricultural management and abandonment

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2013
Soil water repellency determines the water available in the soil system, the runoff generation and the geomorphologic processes. This study examines the soil wettability during the summer of 2008 and 2009 in forest soils with different fire history, and ...

La repelencia al agua inducida por el fuego está controlada por pequeñas variaciones en las propiedades del suelo [PDF]

, 2014
Fire induced soil water repellency (WR) is controlled by many different factors (temperature reached, amount and type of fuel, etc.). Soil properties may determine the occurrence and intensity of this property in burned soils.
