Soil Water Repellency (SWR) is an important ecological property that has implications in the soil and water management and is a useful functional eco-hydrological indicator driven by several natural and human factors. In ...

Soil volumetric changes have been seldom studied in seasonally ponded soils subjected to periodic water table rises. In the Flooding Pampa of Argentina the topsoils develop significant swelling and shrinkage, despite their ...

Soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] have great economic prominence in the world, and soil management systems can directly interfere with their yield through changes in soil physical-hydric properties. Thus, the aim of this ...

The characterization and quantification of the soil water retention, representing the relationship between the water content and energy that takes place is essential to study the relationships between the soil and the ...

Arid land degradation diminishes the proportion of precipitation conducted to infiltration and increases the proportion lost to run-off and evaporation. Consequently, we expect that the effects of annual precipitation on ...

Soil hydrophobicity can be conceptually defined as soil repellency to water and is associated with the covering of soil particles by hydrophobic organic substances which interact with mineral particles and pores in a complex ...

In the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), erodibility accounts for the influence of soil properties on soil loss during storm events in upland areas, which is represented by the soil erodibility factor (K). ...

Fractal geometry would appear to offer promise for new insight on water transport in unsaturated soils, This study was conducted to evaluate possible fractal influence on soil water diffusivity, and/or the relationships ...
