Does drought alter hydrological functions in forest soils? [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Climate change is expected to impact the water cycle and severely affect precipitation patterns across central Europe and in other parts of the world, leading to more frequent and severe droughts.

Patterns of soil water repellency change with wetting and drying: the influence of cracks, roots and drainage conditions [PDF]

, 2014
The influence of simulated cracks and roots on soil water repellency (SWR) dynamics with and without basal drainage impedance in wetting–drying cycles was investigated in the laboratory experiments.

Development of a universal microinfiltrometer to estimate extent and persistence of soil water repellency as a function of capillary pressure and interface chemical composition [PDF]

, 2020
Microinfiltrometers to assess soil water repellency (SWR) are limited to small tension ranges and have different technical setups, hindering a comparison between results from different laboratories.

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.

Impact of Heat on Soil Water Repellency in Forest Soils from Different Depths using Water-Repellent Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Forest Soil

Proceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium
ome soils under plant species, such as casuarina, pine, eucalyptus, cedar, and cypress, show water- repellent conditions. Wildfires are common in forests dominated by these plant species as they produce highly flammable debris.

Quantitative experimental study on the apparent contact angle of unsaturated loess and its application in soil–water characteristics curve modeling

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Advancing and receding water contact angles, often denoted as the maximum and minimum apparent water contact angles, are crucial parameters reflecting a soil's water holding capacity. These parameters play an important role in establishing theoretical soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) for unsaturated soils.

Preliminary experiments of soil hydrophobic character with krüss dsa drop shape analyser [PDF]

, 2023
In our experiments, we used Krüss DSA 100 drop shape analyzer to test the wettability of different Hungarian soil and sediment samples, which measures the contact angle (cA) and water drop penetration time (WDPT), excellent indicators of the wettability ...

Continuous Monitoring of Vegetation and Soil Recovery After Eucalyptus grandis Removal in Dense Trees and Shrubs Areas

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Invasion by invasive alien plants is a global challenge and South Africa has invested billions of Rands to manage invaders through the Working for Water programme. However, regular monitoring after alien plant clearing is hardly done, yet it forms the basis for assessing clearing programme effectiveness, particularly ecosystem recovery ...

Intensity and Persistence of Soil Water Repellency in Pine Forest Soil in a Temperate Continental Climate under Drought Conditions

Water, 2018
Although soil water repellency (SWR) has been reported under different soils, climates, and vegetation types of the world, especially in forest land and following wildfires, the understanding of this variable continues to be rather limited.

Impact of secondary succession in abandoned fields on some properties of acidic sandy soils [PDF]

, 2020
Abandonment of agricultural lands in recent decades is occurring mainly in Europe, North America and Oceania, and changing the fate of landscapes as the ecosystem recovers during fallow stage.
