Purpose Soil water repellency (SWR) can interrupt water infiltration that may decline plant
growth and potentially trigger soil erosion. Until now research has been mainly focused on …

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread phenomenon that influences patterns of soil
wetting, runoff, evapotranspiration and availability of water for plants. In natural ecosystems …

Biochar addition to soil may change the hydrophobicity of amended soil and influence soil
hydraulic properties. Soil hydrophobicity, ie soil water repellency (SWR) can interrupt water …

At stations on the Natsui River and the Same River in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, effects
of a heavy rain event on radiocesium export were studied after Typhoon Roke during 21–22 …

In mountain regions, soil landscapes are highly vulnerable against soil loss. Moreover,
these environments are particularly affected by land use changes, which influence soil …

Both scaling effect and connectivity of overland flow were examined in steep hillslopes
covered by (1) Japanese cypress (hinoki, Chamecyparis obtusa) plantations with sparse …

We examined the effects of forest floor coverage on overland flow generation and soil
erosion in mature Japanese cypress plantations with different coverage conditions: sparse …

We examined the effect of forest thinning on runoff generation at plot and catchment scales
in headwater basins draining a Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) forest. We …

In many areas of the world, the surface of the earth is changing rapidly. This can affect the
partitioning of precipitation into overland flow (OF) and infiltration. OF can reach the stream …

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread natural phenomenon that results from a
complex interplay between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and …
