Development of a universal microinfiltrometer to estimate extent and persistence of soil water repellency as a function of capillary pressure and interface chemical composition

Sepehrnia, Nasrollah; Woche, Susanne K.; Goebel, Marc-O.; Bachmann, Jörg (Warschau : Sciendo, 2020)

Microinfiltrometers to assess soil water repellency (SWR) are limited to small tension ranges and have different technical setups, hindering a comparison between results from different laboratories. Hence, a microinfiltrometer ...
Occurrence and spatial pattern of water repellency in a beech forest subsoil

Bachmann, Jörg; Krueger, Jiem; Goebel, Marc-Oliver; Heinze, Stefanie (Warsaw : Versita, 2016)

Most recent studies on soil water repellency (WR) were limited to the humous topsoil or to shallow subsoil layers slightly below the main root zone to approximately 0.5 m depth. Hence, the main objective of the present ...
Water repellency decreases with increasing carbonate content and pH for different biocrust types on sand dunes

Drahorad, Sylvie Laureen; Felde, Vincent J. M. N. L.; Ellerbrock, Ruth H.; Henss, Anja (Berlin : de Gruyter Open, 2021)

Biocrusts are biological communities that occupy the soil surface, accumulate organic matter and mineral particles and hence strongly affect the properties of the soils they cover. Moreover, by affecting water repellency, ...
