Drop impact dynamics on the hydrophobic leaf surface of an aquatic plant: a case study of Pistia stratiotes.

Pistia stratiotes is an aquatic plant with a complex structure that allows it to stay afloat. It grows quickly, and in large numbers becomes an undesirable plant as an invasive species. Describing the dynamics of a water drop splash on P.

The Leaf Wettability of Various Potato Cultivars.

Leaf wettability has an impact on a plant's ability to retain water on its leaf surface, which in turn has many environmental consequences. In the case of the potato leaf ( L.), water on the leaf surface may contribute to the development of a fungal disease.

The Impact of Diesel Oil Pollution on the Hydrophobicity and CO Efflux of Forest Soils.

The contamination of soil with petroleum products is a major environmental problem. Petroleum products are common soil contaminants as a result of human activities, and they are causing substantial changes in the biological (particularly microbiological) processes, chemical composition, structure and physical properties of soil. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of soil moisture on CO efflux from diesel-contaminated albic podzol soils.
