Water repellency (hydrophobicity) of soils is a property with major repercussions for plant
growth, surface and subsurface hydrology, and for soil erosion. Important advances have …

The use of cyanobacteria as soil inoculants is a very promising biotechnological approach
that is receiving increasing scientific attention for its potential for soil degradation control …

Adding charcoal to soil (biochar soil amendment) can sequester carbon and improve soil
performance, although the extent and exact mechanisms of soil improvement are not clear …

Soil water status plays an important role in growth-yield and grape quality of Vitis vinifera
(L.). In some cases, periods of moderate water stress have been indicated to exert a positive …

The amendment of soil with biochar can sequester carbon and alter hydrologic properties by
changing physical and chemical characteristics of soil. To understand the effect of biochar …

Water repellency (hydrophobicity) is known to be temporally variable. Most studies indicate
that soils are most repellent when dry and least repellent or non-repellent (hydrophilic) when …

Few studies have attempted to isolate the various factors that may cause the observed
increases in peak flows and erosion after high‐severity wildfires. This study evaluated the …

The purpose of this paper is to document some of the more important highlights of the
research and historical aspects concerning soil water-repellency. This effort traces the …

Fire-induced or enhanced soil water repellency is often viewed as a key cause of the
substantial increases in runoff and erosion following severe wildfires. In this study, the …

Post-fire soil erosion is of considerable concern because of the potential decline in site
productivity and adverse effects on downstream resources. For the Colorado Front Range …
