Basic soil properties as a factor controlling the occurrence and intensity of water repellency in rankers of the White Carpathians

Water repellency in soils is controlled by many different factors, basic physical and chemical properties might be considered the crucial ones. For the purpose of this study, 12 sites were selected and sampled (0–20 cm depth) in the White Carpathians. Repellency tests were conducted under laboratory...
