Short-term changes in soil Munsell colour value, organic matter content and soil water repellency after a spring grassland fire in Lithuania [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Fire is a natural phenomenon with important implications on soil properties. The degree of this impact depends upon fire severity, the ecosystem affected, topography of the burned area and post-fire meteorological conditions. The study of fire effects on

Impact of reforestations with exotic and native species on water repellency of forest soils [PDF]
, 2017 Forest duff layer is usually water repellent due to the hydrophobic organic compounds resulting from degradation of tree tissues. Transition from hydrophobic to wettable conditions, or vice versa, is largely controlled by water content.

Spatial patterns of wetting characteristics in grassland sandy soil
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016 In grasslands where organic and inorganic resources are alternating at scales of individual plants, the transient character is given to certain wetting properties of soil, which then become highly variable both in space and in time.

Stones resting on the top soil cause heterogeneous patterns of fire-induced water repellency [PDF]
, 2014 Depending on soil and fire characteristics, soil water repellency (SWR) may be induced, enhanced or destroyed by burning. The spatial pattern of SWR may be extremely heterogeneous as a consequence of the temperature peaks, the variation of fire ...

Impacts of grass removal on wetting and actual water repellency in a sandy soil
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017 Soil water content and actual water repellency were assessed for soil profiles at two sites in a bare and grasscovered plot of a sand pasture, to investigate the impact of the grass removal on both properties.

Physical degradation of hydrophobized sands
, 2020 Hydrophobized sands can be used to control infiltration as barriers in ground infrastructure. As coated granular materials, the interaction between particles is assumed to damage the coatings leading to a reduction in hydrophobicity.

Impact of heating on properties of sandy soil under pine and birch trees
BiologiaClimate change and the rise in global average temperatures lead to an increase in the frequency, intensity, and magnitude of forest fires. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of heating temperature on soil organic carbon content (SOC), pH ...

Do stones modify the spatial distribution of fire induced soil water repellency? Preliminary data [PDF]
, 2013 Water repellency is a property of many fire-affected soils that contributes to delayed wetting rates and shows many hydrological and geomorphological consequences.
