Soil water repellency (WR) is ubiquitous across Greenlandic cultivated fields, which may constrain agricultural production. Fine-grained glacial rock flour (GRF) is available in the surrounding landscape, which could serve as a soil amendment. We tested whether the application of GRF (rates of 0, 50...
