Relationships of water repellency to soil properties for soils of southwestern Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In order predict the susceptibility of soils to the development of water repellency, it is necessary to identify predictive relationships between water repellence and commonly measured soil properties. This paper evaluates these relationships for diverse

Application of Semi-Hydrophobic Layers to Decrease Bare Soil Evaporation

open access: yes, 2019
Evaporative water loss from bare agricultural soils is a primary area of water conservation research. Mulching is the commonly utilized method to decrease evaporative water loss.

微咸水与再生水混灌对土壤特性的影响与灌溉效应评估

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2022
为了探讨淡水资源不足地区微咸水的合理利用方式。通过盆栽试验, 以清水灌溉为对照, 研究不同比例微咸水与再生水混合灌溉对水盐、水溶性离子、滴水穿透时间WDPT、有机质以及酶活性的影响, 并利用第二代生物综合响应指数法(IBRv2)对微咸水与再生水混灌效应进行评价。结果表明: (1)与再生水灌溉(T1)相比, 随着混合溶液中微咸水比重的升高, 土壤含水率和含盐量逐渐升高且差异显著(P<0.05)。(2)与T1处理相比, 随着混合溶液中微咸水比重的升高, 土壤K+、Ca2+含量呈降低趋势, Na+、Cl ...

Impacts of thinning of a Mediterranean oak forest on soil properties influencing water infiltration

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
In Mediterranean ecosystems, special attention needs to be paid to forest–water relationships due to water scarcity. In this context, Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) has the objective to establish how forest resources have to be managed with regards to ...

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

open access: yes
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.

Application of minidisk infiltrometer to estimate water repellency in Mediterranean pine forest soils

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2017
Assessment of soil water repellency (SWR) was conducted in the decomposed organic floor layer (duff) and in the mineral soil layer of two Mediterranean pine forests, one in Italy and the other in Spain, by the widely-used water drop penetration time ...

Influência da concentração de extratos hidrofóbicos na repelência à água em solos arenosos

open access: yesPesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2011
A repelência à água é estudada em vários solos do  mundo, sendo os casos mais extremos encontrados  em solos arenosos. Acredita-se que a repelência à  água seja causada pelo recobrimento das partículas do  solo por compostos hidrofóbicos derivados da ...

Methods for determining actual soil water repellence

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we describe a simple and quick method for determining the presence of water repellency in a soil by using a small core sampler (1.5 cm in diameter, 25 cm long) and applying the water drop penetration time (WDPT) test at different depths on ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.
