In this study, the performance of 63 existing pedotransfer functions (PTFs) is evaluated to
estimate oven-dry soil bulk density (BD) by using a dataset of 3316 soil cores taken in the …

Abstract The topsoil Land Use and Cover Area frame Statistical survey (LUCAS) aims at
collecting harmonised data about the state of soil health over the extent of European Union …

In the current study, the use of regression-kriging (RK), artificial neural networks (ANN),
support vector machines (SVM), and random forest (RF) methods from machine learning …

For the estimation of the soil organic carbon stocks, bulk density (BD) is a fundamental
parameter but measured data are usually not available especially when dealing with legacy …

Oven-dry soil bulk density (BD) is a key soil parameter in biophysical models. Yet, its direct
determination for large-scale modeling applications is limited by excessive efforts required …

Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have been developed for many regions to estimate values
missing from soil profile databases. However, globally there are many areas without existing …

Bulk density (BD) is a soil physical property used as a soil quality indicator and variations in
this measurement influence soil water content and carbon stock estimates. This study aims …

Soils are a large reservoir of organic carbon, and plays a significant role in its accumulation
and storage. The goal of this study is to provide a generalized estimate of soil organic …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the major component of the terrestrial carbon (C) budget, a key
indicator of environmental sustainability. So, estimating SOC stock and soil carbon (C) …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) tends to form complexes with most metallic ions within the soil
system. Relatively few studies compare SOC predictions via portable X-ray fluorescence …
