Abstract

Tuzinský L.: Temporal dynamics of soil water in oak forest stand of Southern Slovakia. Ekológia (Bratislava), Vol. 24, No. 3, 304-313, 2005.

Time and spatial variability of the soil water depends on the weather characteristic course, on soil hydrophysical characteristics and on forest stand transformation influence. Analysis of soil water available for plants during the growing season shows that the water dynamics in the soil under the oak forest stand is most intense...

The role of soil water repellency in overland flow generation in pine and eucalypt forest stands in coastal Portugal.
Australian Journal of Soil Research ; Introduction There now remains little doubt that soil water repellency, the resistance of soil to instantaneous wetting, is a widespread phenomenon occurring in many soils worldwide (Dekker 1998; Ritsema 1998; DeBano 2000a; Dekker and Ritsema 2000; Doerr et al. 2000). In the case of Portugal,

Australian Journal of Soil Research ; Introduction Over 75% of Amazonian deforestation in the past 30 years has been directed towards the establishment of pastures (Fearnside 1996). The productivity of Amazonian pastures declines within 4-8 years of establishment, frequently resulting in abandonment (Buschbacher et al. 1988; Serrao and
