Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Predicating soil-water characteristic curves of soils with different initial void ratios based on a pedotransfer function

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
A pedotransfer function (PTF), which is a nonlinear regression equation, is proposed for predicting the parameter n of the van Genuchten (VG) model. Considering the regressive relationship between the parameter α of the VG model and the initial void ...

Predicting the Base Neutralization Capacity of Soils Based on Texture, Organic Carbon and Initial pH: An Opportunity to Adjust Common Liming Recommendation Approaches to Specific Management and Climate Conditions

Agronomy, 2023
Liming is an effective measure to increase the soil pH and to counterbalance soil acidification. Therefore, the liming recommendations (LRs) for agricultural practice consider two aspects: changing the initial pH to the desired pH and compensating for ...

Soil Hydraulic Properties of Europe at 500 m Resolution for Topsoil Using EUPTFv2 and LUCAS Soil Data

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil hydraulic properties govern the movement and storage of water in soils and are essential inputs for hydrological and land surface models, influencing water‐holding capacity, matter and energy transport, erosion susceptibility and plant water availability.

Virtual Soil Simulator—Finite Volume Method Implementation for the Unsaturated Porous Media Water Transport Model Including Film Flow and Isothermal Vapor Transport Phenomena

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Modeling unsaturated water transport in porous media traditionally relies on the Richards equation (RE) with hydraulic conductivity formulations to consider only capillary liquid water flow. However, this simplification neglects thin water films adsorbed onto particle surfaces, which can contribute significantly to flow under medium to dry ...

A comparative assessment of the estimates of the saturated hydraulic conductivity of two anthropogenic soils and their impact on hydrological model simulations

Soil and Water Research, 2020
In this study, different methods were compared in order to determine the soil hydraulic conductivity at the saturation (Ks) of two heavily anthropized soils in northern Italy: an irrigated field and a landfill cover.

Using Machine Learning Methods as a Pedotransfer Function to Estimate Soil Hydraulic Parameters

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Background】 Accurate prediction of soil water dynamics requires soil hydraulic parameters and the PedoTransfer Function (PTF) is an indirect method estimating soil hydraulic parameters based on easy-to-measure soil properties. 【Objective】 The purpose of

Climate Change Shows Inverse Effects on Grain Yield and Protein Concentration in West Africa

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Climate change driven shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations threaten both productivity and nutritional quality of maize, a staple crop that underpins daily energy and protein intake for millions of households in Africa and beyond.

Living on the edge – physiological tolerance to frost and drought explains range limits of 35 European tree species

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Species distribution models are key to evaluate how climate change threatens European forests and tree species distributions. However, current models struggle to integrate ecophysiological processes. Mechanistic models are complex and have high parameter requirements.
