Water Resources Research, Volume 58, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Unstable flow in homogeneous dry soils, including saturation overshoot, is associated with a nonzero soil‐water contact angle (CA); 1D and 2D models for such flow, based on the moving‐boundary concept, were recently developed, solved, and verified for a constant high CA.

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Forest ecosystems play a central role in global water and carbon cycles, yet the impact of global climate change, in particular drought, on trees and forests is poorly understood. Therefore, there is an urgent need for forest‐scale experiments in improving our understanding of trees’ responses to extreme drought events and subsequent recovery ...

On the Complexity of Enumerating the Answers to Well-designed Pattern Trees [PDF]
, 2016 Well-designed pattern trees (wdPTs) have been introduced as an extension of conjunctive queries to allow for partial matching - analogously to the OPTIONAL operator of the semantic web query language SPARQL.

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 963-978, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Soil wettability is important for understanding a wide range of earth system processes, from agricultural productivity to debris flows and sediment fan formation. However, there is limited research considering how soil–water interactions, where the soil grains are naturally hydrophobic, might change in the presence of oil from natural ...

Spatial Gradients of Intensity and Persistence of Soil Water Repellency Under Different Forest Types in Central Mexico [PDF]
, 2016 Organic residues release hydrophobic compounds to the soil that may induce soil water repellency (WR), which may inhibit infiltration andincrease runoff and soil loss rates.

Cover systems with synthetic water‐repellent soils
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract A cover system is a crucial component of engineered landfills, to minimize water percolation into the underlying waste. Capillary barriers are an alternative cover system, which has been widely used in the arid and semiarid regions as no cohesive, low‐permeability materials are used.

Mildly hydrophobic biobased mulch: A sustainable approach to controlling bare soil evaporation
Vadose Zone Journal, 2020 Mulching with polyethylene film is the conventional approach to decrease evaporative water loss from agricultural soils, but it is not environmentally sustainable.

Evaluation of soil properties in variously aged Scots pine plantations established on sandy soil
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021 Pines are widely planted for sand dune stabilization and their cultivation results in the changes in physical, chemical, hydro-physical and water repellency properties.
