A multi-scale ''soil water structure'' model based on the pedostructure concept [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Abstract. Current soil water models do not take into account the internal organization of the soil medium and, a fortiori, the physical interaction between the water film surrounding the solid particles of the soil structure, and the surface charges of this structure.

Modeling Soil Water Movement in Pedostructure

open access: yes2006 Portland, Oregon, July 9-12, 2006, 2006
Accurate representation of the top soil matrix with special attention to the scales present is important to the dynamics of water flow and to the fate of pollution at field, farm and watershed scales. This is also important from an agronomic stand point since agriculture is the main source of pollution at a time when many agronomic models still use ...

Field evaluation of the pedostructure-based model (KamelĀ®)

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2012
This study involves a field evaluation of the pedostructure-based model Kamel(R) and comparisons between Kamel(R) and the Hydrus-1D(R) model. Both models are commonly named 1D - soil water models because they simulate the flux of water within the soil, related to climate conditions variation and water uptake by roots.

Modeling the Swelling Curve for Packed Soil Aggregates Using the Pedostructure Concept

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 2006
The swelling curve is generally studied as structural soil volume dependence on water content during swelling, and not on time. In this paper, we show how the swelling curve defined as the specific volume of the soil as a function of time, V ( t ...

Thermodynamic Formulation of the Pedostructure Water Retention and Shrinkage Curves: An Approach to Soil Medium Organization

2023
The two characteristic soil moisture curves: the soil water retention curve and the shrinkage curve, necessary for the physical modeling of the hydrological and agronomic properties of the soil are, still today, entirely empirical. They have been established so far without referring to the hydrostructural and thermodynamic properties of the ...

Soil Water: Functions in Pedostructure

2007
There are several models of soil water that consider the soil medium as an active site for chemical, physical, and biological processes with a bimodal porous medium, micro- and macropore systems. Few of these models consider the soil medium as a structured medium with aggregates.

Development and Evaluation of Functional Soil Mapping Unit Using Pedostructure Hierarchy Concept

2007 Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 17-20, 2007, 2007
Accurate soil characterization is crucial for understanding soil-water interactions and allowing for better on-farm agricultural and environmental management. Current soil characterization methods lack quantitative attributes that integrate the soil mapping units with environmental and agronomical models.
