Physicochemical and biological factors determining the patchy distribution of soil water repellency among species of dominant vegetation in loess hilly region of China

Soil water repellency (SWR) is a physical phenomenon whereby water cannot penetrate or has difficulty penetrating the soil surface. There are many factors involved in its occurrence, but the main factors controlling its emergence in loess remain unclear. In this work, we have studied numerous physic...
