The Impacts of Vineyard Afforestation on Soil Properties, Water Repellency and Near-Saturated Infiltration in the Little Carpathians Mountains

Water, 2020
Vineyards are a 7000-year-old land-use tradition and both management and abandonment have result in altered soil properties. These have a great effect on water resources and soil services, and this inspired our investigation into the effects of land-use ...

Fungal-induced water repellency in sand

Geotechnique, 2020
Water infiltration into granular soils and the associated pore water pressure increase and reduction in shear strength can trigger landslides, instability of vertical cuts and failure of retaining walls.

Quantifying the Effect of Subcritical Water Repellency on Sorptivity: A Physically Based Model

Water Resources Research, 2020
Soil water wettability or water repellency is a phenomenon that can affect infiltration and, ultimately, runoff. Thus, there is a need to develop a model that can quantitatively capture the influence of water repellency on infiltration in a physically ...

Synthesis of Nontoxic and Bio Based Oil and Water Repellent Polymers for Cotton Fabrics Using Stearic Acid, Succinic Acid, and Itaconic Acid

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Fluorocarbon-based oil and water repellents are considered best in textile finishing due to their excellent performance. Although, long chain fluorocarbons are effective oil and water repellents but they are toxic and being banned. Therefore, the present

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 ...

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]

, 2007
Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Effect of Particle Size on Droplet Infiltration into Hydrophobic Porous Media As a Model of Water Repellent Soil [PDF]

, 2011
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota, and in determining the risk for preferential flow, surface runoff, flooding,and soil erosion. The molarity of ethanol droplet (MED) test is widely used for quantifying the severity

Water repelling Populus Alba by emulsion of paraffin, Quaternary ammonium and hydrated starch [PDF]

تحقیقات علوم چوب و کاغذ ایران, 2010
The water repellency and dimensional stabilization of wood species are important for outdoor uses. In this study, the water absorption and water repelling of poplar wood (Populus Alba) by emulsion of paraffin, Quaternary ammonium and starch, were ...
