“…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.…”
