Impact of heating on properties of sandy soil under pine and birch trees
Climate change and the rise in global average temperatures lead to an increase in the frequency, intensity, and magnitude of forest fires. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of heating temperature on soil organic carbon content (SOC), pH ...

ABSTRACT Acacia dealbata has invaded South African grasslands, yet few studies have assessed its invasion and clearing effects on grasslands. We assessed the soil (moisture, repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity) and vegetation (diversity, composition and cover) impacts of A.

The biological soil crusts (BSCs) in the NW Negev cause local water redistribution by increasing surface runoff. The effects of pore clogging and swelling of organic and inorganic crust components were intensively investigated in earlier studies. However,

Water-repellent soil and its relationship to granularity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity: a materials science view [PDF]
Considerable soil water repellency has been observed at a wide range of locations worldwide. The soil exhibiting water repellency is found within the upper part of the soil profile.

Abstract The farming areas in the catchment of Lake Kinneret basin are irrigated with Dan Spring waters, characterized by a concentration of 10 mg/L of Cl. Climate change simulation predicts that by the year 2050, the flow of the headwater springs will drop by 20%, a finding that poses a significant threat to the future of farming in the basin.

La hidrofobia en los suelos arenosos del parque natural de Doñana: caracterización y distribución [PDF]
La hidrofobia, o repelencia al agua que se manifiesta en algunos suelos, dificulta la infiltración del agua, y, consecuentemente, el establecimiento de vegetación.

Minimal Soil Impacts of Caesalpinia decapetala Invasion in South Africa's Vhembe Biosphere Reserve
ABSTRACT We assessed the effects of Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston invasion on soil physical properties over 3 summer months in Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, South Africa. Topsoils were collected beneath replicated invaded and uninvaded conditions and assessed for soil moisture, water repellency, penetration resistance, infiltration and hydraulic ...

Abstract The growing water scarcity jeopardizes crop production for global food security, a problem poised to worsen under climate change–induced drought. Amending soils with locally derived biochar from pyrolyzed agricultural residues may enhance soil moisture retention and resilience, in addition to climate change mitigation.

La repelencia al agua inducida por el fuego está controlada por pequeñas variaciones en las propiedades del suelo [PDF]
Fire induced soil water repellency (WR) is controlled by many different factors (temperature reached, amount and type of fuel, etc.). Soil properties may determine the occurrence and intensity of this property in burned soils.
