Wildfire can lead to considerable hydrological and geomorphological change, both directly
by weathering bedrock surfaces and changing soil structure and properties, and indirectly …

Earth system models associate the ongoing global warming with increasing frequency and
intensity of extreme events such as droughts and heat waves. The carbon balance of soils …

After an initial evaluation of several solvents, the efficiency of Soxhlet extractions with
isopropanol/ammonia (sg 0.88)(70: 30 v: v; 24 h) in extracting compounds associated with …

Soil water repellency is much more wide-spread than formerly thought. During the last
decades, it has been a topic of study for soil scientists and hydrologists in at least 21 States …

Water-repellent ('non-wetting') soils are a major constraint to agricultural production in
southern and south-west Australia, affecting> 10 Mha of arable sandy soils. The major …

Soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) prevents water from wetting or infiltrating dry soil. This
condition has been documented under a wide range of vegetation types and climates and …

The premise of this paper is that continued improvement in the understanding of wildfire
impacts on soil erosion and better prediction of resulting hazards can be best achieved by …

Alkaline soils are considered much less prone to developing water repellency induced by
fire than acidic soils. Here we report on the persistence of water repellency present in …

Natural soil water repellency is a property that has already been observed in forest soils and
is characterized by its patchy distribution. There are many factors involved in its …

Millions of dollars are spent each year in the United States to mitigate the effects of wildfires
and reduce the risk of flash floods and debris flows. Research from forested, chaparral, and …
