Organic carbon and silt determining subcritical water repellency and field capacity of soils in arid and semi-arid region

Soil water repellency (SWR) is frequently observed in different types of land use and climates. Since SWR potentially enhances the difficulty of water infiltration in soil, the phenomenon can severely impact the water use of plants in arid regions. Therefore, understanding the origin of SWR is cruci...
