Alterations in aggregate characteristics of thermally heated water-repellent soil aggregates under laboratory conditions

The heat generated during wildfires modifies soil characteristics, including soil water repellency (SWR) and the water stability of aggregates, which are known to be interrelated. SWR lowers the rate of water entry into aggregates, minimizing aggregate disruption and subsequent erosion. This study a...
