Recent studies have suggested that soil water repellency can be one of the important factors affecting hydrological processes on headwater catchments. In Japan, water repellency is known to occur under Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) forests, a typical plantation type in Japan, however, previous studies have not evaluated the severity of water repellency and its effects on surface runoff generation. To quantify water repellency and its effects, this study combined the critical surface tension (CST) test with a new spraying experiment in which the infiltration rates of water and ethanol solutions sprayed over 0·09‐m2 plots were compared. Long‐term intensive hydrological observations of surface runoff from 2‐m2 plots, soil water potential, and soil water content were conducted concurrently.
