Inverse estimation of soil hydraulic properties and water repellency following artificially induced drought stress

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018
Global climate change is projected to continue and result in prolonged and more intense droughts, which can increase soil water repellency (SWR). To be able to estimate the consequences of SWR on vadose zone hydrology, it is important to determine soil ...

Soil water repellency in north-eastern Greece with adverse effects of drying on the persistence

open access: yes, 2005
Many soils may be water repellent to some degree, challenging the common perception that soil water repellency is only an interesting aberration. When dry, water repellent soils resist or retard water infiltration into the soil matrix.

Moisture variability resulting from water repellency in Dutch soils

open access: yes, 1998
The present study suggests that many soils in the Netherlands, in natural as well as in agricultural areas, may be water repellent to some degree, challenging the common perception that soil water repellency is only an interesting aberration.

Water repellency effects on liquid- and vapor-phase water exchange in soil and clay minerals

open access: yes, 2019
Drought conditions and wildfires can induce soil water repellency. Precipitation shifts are expected to exacerbate drought and wildfire in regions such as the southeastern United States, making it critical to understand how repellency affects water ...

Water repellency in oil contaminated sandy and clayey soils

open access: yes, 2008
Two sites from a humid tropical environment were studied with respect to soil water repellency caused by hydrocarbon contamination. Samples were analyzed for water repellency (molarity ethanol droplet method), total petroleum hydrocarbons, acute toxicity

Soil water repellency decreases summer maize growth

open access: yes, 2019
A two-year summer maize irrigation experiment was conducted in soil lysimeters under a rain-shelter to analyze the effects of water repellency on soil moisture, evapotranspiration, crop growth, and yields.

Flexible conformation in organic matter coatings: An hypothesis about soil water repellency

open access: yes, 2000
Some soils develop severe water repellency several years or decades following oil contamination. We previously reported that soil water repellency is completely eliminated by extraction with amphiphilic solvents, but barely reduced by extraction with ...

Water repellency of soils; the influence of ambient relative humidity

open access: yes, 2002
Adverse effects of soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) are of concern during or following rainfall or irrigation, and are often preceded by conditions of high atmospheric relative humidity (RH).
