The Influence of Plant Litter on Soil Water Repellency: Insight from 13C NMR Spectroscopy.
Soil water repellency (SWR, i.e.reduced affinity for water owing to the presence CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) of organic hydrophobic coatings on soil particles) has relevant hydrological implications because low rates of infiltration enhance water runoff, and untargeted diffusion of fertilizers and pesticides.Previous studies investigated the occ
