摘要 Though riparian areas generally have a shallow water table and higher soil moisture compared to up slope areas,climatic seasonality may trigger water repellency in tropical riparian forests,which,if persistent,could negatively affect essential ecosystem functions related to water resources protection such as reduced overland-flow,sediment transport,and nutrient filtration.The objective of this study was to answer the following:can tropical riparian forests develop water repellency?If so,does water repellency affect infiltration on a seasonal basis?For this,water repellency and infiltration were measured in a grid of 72points during a dry and a wet month of a tropical riparian forest with a shallow water table in a region with highly marked climatic seasonality.Water repellency and infiltration were significantly different between the wet and dry months.Water repellency affected negatively infiltration in the dry month,its effect in the wet month was insignificant.As a result,a higher infiltration capacity was observed over the wet period.Previous research has claimed that the development and persistence of repellency in soils could promote other hydrological processes such as overland flow.The findings shown here demonstrate that such phenomenon does not persist longer than the dry season.
