Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

The rhizosphere is a narrow and dynamic region of plant root-soil interfaces, and it's
considered one of the most intricate and functionally active ecosystems on the Earth, which …

Rewetting dry soils is associated with a burst of microbial activity and mineralization, which
manifests itself as a pulse in soil CO 2 emissions, long-known as the Birch effect. In arid and …

Shrubland is a Mediterranean biome characterized by densely growing evergreen shrubs
adapted to fire events. To date, scientific research has focused on the impact of vegetation …

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 …

A major challenge in soil science is to monitor and understand the state and change of soils
at a national scale to inform decision making and policy. To address this, there is a need to …

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

Surfactant molecules increase the infiltration rate into hydrophobic porous media by
lowering the infiltrating water's surface tension and the interfacial tension between …

Simple Summary This study focuses on plants in riparian zones that are very vulnerable due
to water stress and anthropogenic disturbances, which are particularly important regarding …

Soil water repellency (SWR) has significant effects on soil degradation by changing some
soil processes (eg, carbon sequestration and soil erosion). Understanding the influence …
