Enhancement and application of a pedotransfer function for soil penetration resistance on a southern Ontario landfill cover

open access: yes, 2011
Mechanical resistance to penetration encountered by growing plant roots is one of the fundamental soil physical factors affecting crop growth and yield.

Development of pedotransfer functions by machine learning for prediction of soil electrical conductivity and organic carbon content

open access: yes, 2020
The pedotransfer function is a mathematical model used to convert direct soil measurements into known and unknown soil properties. It provides information for modelling and simulation in soil research, hydrology, environmental science and climate change ...

Evaluation of DRAINMOD using saturated hydraulic conductivity estimated by a pedotransfer function model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Direct measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is time-consuming and therefore costly. The ROSETTA pedotransfer function model is able to estimate Ks from soil textural data, bulk density and one or two water retention points.

Adapting the available water capacity indicator to forest soils: An example from the Haut-Languedoc (France)

open access: yes, 2020
International audienceSoil available water capacity (SAWC) is becoming a crucial issue for forest management in the context of climate change. However, the SAWC indicator, which was created for agricultural soils, needs specific adaptations when it is ...

Introducing a volume change function in process-based modelling of soil development due to land management: A proof of concept

open access: yesGeoderma
Most process-based models of soil development with explicit water transfer are based on an assumption of constant soil volume over time. Nevertheless, the consequences of this simplification on model outputs are not negligible when used on a several ...

Soil Bulk Density Estimation by a Novel Pedotransfer Function Tailored on Hilly Terrains

open access: yes
The evaluation of soil bulk density (BD) is essential for studying soil processes like water retention, air circulation, and carbon sequestration. Conventional direct BD measurement methods are often time-consuming, costly, and laborious.
