“…In Brazil, researchers have observed SWR in virtually all biomes, including the Amazon (Johnson et al, 2005), Pampa (Vogelmann et al 2010), Atlantic Forest (Bezerra et al, 2019;Lozano-Baez et al, 2020), and Cerrado (Brito et al, 2022;Mendonça Filho et al, 2022). However, publications in the latter are limited to riparian ecosystems dominated by organic soils that are more prone to the development of soil water repellency (Brito et al, 2022;Mendonça Filho et al, 2022). On the other hand, these effects may occur similarly in other physiognomies, such as ecosystems in elevated positions away from rivers and streams.…”

Soil water repellency (SWR) has been detected worldwide in various biomes and climates. However, this phenomenon has not been shown yet in the Brazilian neotropical savanna. The present study addresses the following questions: a) Does SWR occur in the Brazilian neotropical savanna? If so, b) does it exhibit seasonality? c) Does it in uence in ltration? To do that, we selected two similar study areas covered by the same soil and vegetation types. We performed water repellency and in ltration tests in both areas during the transition from dry to wet season. Our results indicate that SWR occurs in soils of the Brazilian neotropical savanna only during the dry season and does not in uence soil water in ltration. The likely cause of SWR might be related to the chemical composition of soil organic matter since neotropical savanna plants produce hydrophobic substances as a survival strategy, especially during the dry season.
