… pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have been developed for predicting the soil water content at
different matric potentials. The use of these functions … These PTFs were evaluated in Chilean …

… pedotransfer functions through black boxes and intelligent models. An artificial neural
network model ROSETTA was developed by Schaap, Leij (1998b) based on the first analytical …

… In the present work, we evaluate the prediction capability of six pedotransfer functions (PTFs)…
Additionally, six new PTFs were constructed for K S from clay percentage, bulk density, and …

… PTF evaluation and selection Evaluation of PTFs is an essential element of their development
and use. Pachepsky et al. (1999) broadly defined the accuracy of a PTF as the degree of …

… Pedo-Transfer Functions (PTFs) have become a commonly used tool to predict the hydraulic
properties of soil. As an important index to evaluate the function … vegetation construction of …

… We evaluated the use of the pedotransfer functions (PTFs) included in the ROSETTA model
and compared them with ones obtained specifically for silt-loam soils. Water retention curves …

… of pedotransfer functions are demonstrated and discussed. In this respect, functional evaluation
of pedotransfer functions … accuracy of a pedotransfer function for a specific application. …

… Thus regression models or pedotransfer functions (PTFs) based on easily measured soil
properties are an alternative for laborious D b measurements. A forward stepwise multiple …

… functional evaluation of pedotransfer functions before their widespread application. … Hence,
this study shows the importance of performing functional evaluation of pedotransfer functions …

… paid in future to using such class pedotransfer functions. The pedotransfer concept is not
