Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil
information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process …

Hydrological, ecohydrological, and terrestrial biosphere models depend on pedotransfer
functions for computing soil hydraulic parameters based on easily measurable variables …

A widespread increase in tree mortality has been observed around the globe, and this trend
is likely to continue because of ongoing climate-induced increases in drought frequency and …

Accurate and high resolution spatial soil information is essential for efficient and sustainable
land use, management and conservation. Since the establishment of digital soil mapping …

Traditional hydrological theories are based on the assumption that soil is key in determining
water's fate in the hydrological cycle. According to these theories, soil hydraulic properties …

Clay minerals dominate the soil colloidal fraction and its specific surface area. Differences
among clay mineral types significantly influence their effects on soil hydrological and …

Earth system models use soil information to parameterize hard-to-measure soil hydraulic
properties based on pedotransfer functions. However, current parameterizations rely on …

Global land use change has resulted in more pasture and cropland, largely at the expense
of woodlands, over the last 300 years. How this change affects soil hydraulic function with …

The representation of land surface processes in hydrological and climatic models critically
depends on the soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) that defines the plant availability …

Sensor data and agro-hydrological modeling have been combined to improve irrigation
management. Crop water models simulating crop growth and production in response to the …
