A PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTION FOR ESTIMATING THE SOIL ERODIBILITY FACTOR IN SICILY
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2009 The soil erodibility factor, K, of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is a simple descriptor of the soil susceptibility to rill and interrill erosion. The original procedure for determining K needs a knowledge of soil particle size distribution (PSD)

An Improved Pedotransfer Function for Soil Hydrological Properties in New Zealand
Applied SciencesThis 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.

Pedotransfer Function for the Brunswick Soil Hydraulic Property Model and Comparison to the van Genuchten‐Mualem Model [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2020 Modeling soil hydraulic properties requires an effective representation of capillary and noncapillary storage and conductivity. This is made possible by using physically comprehensive yet flexible soil hydraulic property models.

Comparison of Cation Exchange Capacity Estimated from Vis–NIR Spectral Reflectance Data and a Pedotransfer Function [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2019 Conventional methods for measuring CEC are time consuming and costly. A Vis–NIRS model and pedotransfer function (PTF) were developed for CEC determination. The Vis–NIRS model estimated CEC accurately for different soil types.

Estimation of soil gas permeability for assessing radon risk using Rosetta pedotransfer function based on soil texture and water content. [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2019 Radon is a natural source of radioactivity and it can be found in all soils and rocks in the Earth. The presence of radon gas in indoor environments implies a serious risk for human health, already listed as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization.

Predicting the Campbell Soil Water Retention Function: Comparing Visible–Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy with Classical Pedotransfer Function [PDF]
, 2018 The Campbell model was anchored at a soil water content of −1000 cm H2O matric potential. The two model parameters were predicted using either soil fines or vis–NIR spectroscopy. Both methods accurately predicted the soil water retention curve.
