DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2021.105637
Abstract: Abstract Water repellent or non-wetting soils show poor water infiltration, which leads to an increased runoff in both natural and agricultural setting. Some forest areas of northern Iran are characterized by extreme water repellency, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2016.11.032
Abstract: Abstract Wetting patterns produced by water repellent soils are able to preferentially channel moisture deep into the soil profile, minimising storage in surface layers where it is most susceptible to evaporative loss. Although this effect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2018.04.008
Abstract: Abstract In water repellent soils, infiltration following dry periods will typically be limited to narrow pathways which enlarge gradually through winter to produce seasonal patterns of progressive water repellent breakdown. Simple, one-dimensional hydrological models, which… read more here.
