Heat-induced alterations in moisture-dependent repellency of water-repellent forest soils: A laboratory approach with Japanese Andosols

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics
Soil water repellency (SWR) is a phenomenon that prevents the spontaneous wetting of numerous forest soils. It is a moisture-dependent characteristic, which disappears when soil moisture reaches near saturation.

Persistence of water repellency in coarse-textured soils under various types of forests in NW Spain

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2019
The primary purpose of this work was to assess the persistence of water repellency in the surface horizon of coarse-textured soils under natural Quercus robur ecosystems, and Pinus pinaster and Eucalyptus globulus plantations, in the northwest of the ...

Soil hydrophysical properties as affected by solid waste compost amendments: seasonal and short-term effects in an Ultisol

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2019
Application of compost is known to improve the hydraulic characteristics of soils. The objective of this study was to examine the seasonal and short-term effects of solid waste compost amendments on selected hydrophysical properties of soil during dry ...
