Predicting and delineating soil temperature regimes of China using pedotransfer function
Soil temperature regime (STR) is important for soil classification and land use. Generally, STR is delineated by estimating the mean annual soil temperature at a depth of 50 cm (MAST50) according to the Chinese Soil Taxonomy (CST).

It has been proposed to separate soil organic carbon (SOC) into two physical fractions, i.e., fine fraction organic carbon (OCfine) and coarse fraction organic carbon, to improve our ability to understand controlling factors and predict SOC contents and ...

An Improved Pedotransfer Function for Soil Hydrological Properties in New Zealand
This paper describes a new pedotransfer function (PTF) for the soil water content of New Zealand soils at seven specific tensions (0, −5, −10, −20, −40, −100, −1500 kPa) using explanatory variables derived from the S-map soil mapping system.

Using data assimilation to optimize pedotransfer functions using field-scale in situ soil moisture observations [PDF]
Soil moisture predictions from land surface models are important in hydrological, ecological, and meteorological applications. In recent years, the availability of wide-area soil moisture measurements has increased, but few studies have combined model ...

PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTION TO ESTIMATE THE SOIL STRUCTURAL “S” INDEX AND SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN AN OXISOL WITHIN A LIVESTOCK FARMING SYSTEM [PDF]
Various attributes are often required to build soil quality indicators. However, determining these attributes is time-consuming and requires several specific devices.

Improving soil moisture prediction of a high-resolution land surface model by parameterising pedotransfer functions through assimilation of SMAP satellite data [PDF]
Pedotransfer functions are used to relate gridded databases of soil texture information to the soil hydraulic and thermal parameters of land surface models.

Remaining phosphorus estimated by pedotransfer function
Although the determination of remaining phosphorus (Prem) is simple, accurate values could also be estimated with a pedotransfer function (PTF) aiming at the additional use of soil analysis data and/or Prem replacement by an even simpler determination ...

Controls on Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in a Degrading Permafrost Peatland Complex
Permafrost peatlands are vulnerable to rapid structural changes under climatic warming, including vertical collapse. Peatland water budgets, and therefore peat hydraulic properties, are important determinants of vegetation and carbon fluxes. Measurements
