Impact of Heat on Soil Water Repellency in Forest Soils from Different Depths using Water-Repellent Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Forest Soil [PDF]

ome soils under plant species, such as casuarina, pine, eucalyptus, cedar, and cypress, show water- repellent conditions. Wildfires are common in forests dominated by these plant species as they produce highly flammable debris.

Continuous Monitoring of Vegetation and Soil Recovery After Eucalyptus grandis Removal in Dense Trees and Shrubs Areas

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Invasion by invasive alien plants is a global challenge and South Africa has invested billions of Rands to manage invaders through the Working for Water programme. However, regular monitoring after alien plant clearing is hardly done, yet it forms the basis for assessing clearing programme effectiveness, particularly ecosystem recovery ...

Testing soil water repellency in a Sicilian area two years after a fire

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2019
The water drop penetration time (WDPT) technique was applied in 2018 to check persistence of soil water repellency (SWR) in a Sicilian mountain area affected by a wildfire on June 2016.

Soil water repellency assessment in olive groves in Southern and Eastern Spain

, 2016
Soil water repellency (SWR) has been reported under different soils, land uses and regions of the world, particularly in forest land and after wildfires, yet the understanding of this variable in agricultural lands is still rather limited.

Do different methods for measuring the hydrophobicity of soil aggregates give the same trends in soil amended with residue?

, 2010
Most soils have a low level of water repellency and several studies have shown this to be a major property underlying soil structural stability. Various approaches have been developed to measure low levels of repellency, but selecting the one most ...
