Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

We reviewed the use of the van Genuchten–Mualem (VGM) model to parameterize soil
hydraulic properties and for developing pedotransfer functions (PTFs). Analysis of literature …

Numerical models have become much more efficient, making their application to problems
increasingly widespread. User-friendly interfaces make the setup of a model much easier …

Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have been widely used to predict soil hydraulic parameters in
favor of expensive laboratory or field measurements. Rosetta (Schaap et al., 2001, denoted …

Soil water retention influences many soil properties and soil hydrological processes. The
alpine meadows and steppes of the Qilian Mountains on the northeast border of the Qinghai …

Currently accepted pedotransfer functions show negligible effect of management‐induced
changes to soil organic carbon (SOC) on plant available water holding capacity (θAWHC) …

Although it has many positive effects, soil structure may adversely affect the filtering function
of the vadose zone that protects natural water resources from various sources of pollution …

An evolving, living organic/inorganic covering, soil is in dynamic equilibrium with the
atmosphere above, the biosphere within, and the geology below. It acts as an anchor for …

We revisited the Vereecken database, which has been used to derive pedotransfer functions
(PTFs) to estimate the soil hydraulic parameters of Belgian soils. We developed new PTFs …

The variability of soil properties plays a critical role in soil and water conversation
engineering. In this study, different machine learning techniques were applied to identify the …
