Water–soil interactions: Unravelling the processes and stages involved in the wetting of water repellent soils

Journal of Hydrology X, 2023
The water repellent behaviour of soils is a widely studied phenomenon given its implications for infiltration, runoff, erosion and preferential flow. However, the principles underlying the eventual penetration of water into affected soils remain poorly ...

Is the Rhizosphere Temporarily Water Repellent?

Vadose Zone Journal, 2012
The rhizosphere has a controlling role in the flow of water and nutrients from soil to plant roots; however, its hydraulic properties are not well understood. As roots grow, they change the pore size distribution of the surrounding soil. Roots release polymeric substances such as mucilage into their rhizosphere. Microorganisms living in the rhizosphere

Super water-repellent treatment of various cloths by deposition of catalytic-CVD polytetrafluoroethylene films [PDF]

, 2017
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commercial name “Teflon,” films prepared by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD), often called “hot-wire CVD,” are deposited on various cloths of cotton, cotton denim, nylon, and polyester.

Uneven moisture patterns in water repellent soils [PDF]

, 1996
In the Netherlands, water-repellent soils are widespread and they often show irregular moisture patterns, which cause accelerated transport of water and solutes to the groundwater and surface water. Under grass cover, spatial variability in soil moisture

Mimicking water striders’ legs superhydrophobicity and buoyancy with cabbage leaves and nanotube carpets [PDF]

, 2013
In this work, we have studied the superhydrophobicity and buoyancy of two types of nanostructured surfaces: the cabbage leaf and a vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) carpet. The wettability of these surfaces were characterized by contact angle,

Three-term formulation to describe infiltration in water-repellent soils [PDF]

, 2022
International audienceModeling infiltration in water-repellent soils is difficult, as the underlying processes remain poorly quantified. However, recent work has adapted the Beerkan Soil Transfer Parameter (BEST) algorithm to include an expo- nential ...

Soil water repellency changes with depth and relationship to physical properties within wettable and repellent soil profiles

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
This study explored the effect of soil water repellency (SWR) on soil hydrophysical properties with depth. Soils were sampled from two distinctly wettable and water repellent soil profiles at depth increments from 0-60 cm. The soils were selected because
