Title: Evaluation of water repellency in selected Sapric Histosol

Authors: HEWELKE, E.

Keywords: Sapric Histosol, water repellency, moisture content, WDPT

Abstract: The main objective of this study is an analysis of the phenomenon of hydrophobicity in peat-moorsh soil. Research took place in the drained Sapric Histosol, used as meadows, soil profiles located in the central basin of Biebrza Valley. The persistence and degree of water repellency were examined in the soil using water drop penetration time (WDPT) and alcohol percentage tests (MT). The research showed the extreme dependence of hydrophobicity on soil water content. The values of potential water repellency of the soils studied are much greater than for most mineral repellent soils.
