Estimation of soil water retention curve using fractal dimension

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2018
The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is a fundamental hydraulic property majorly used to study flow transport in soils and calculate plant-available water.

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

Monitoring soil volume wetness in heterogeneous soils by electrical resistivity. A field-based pedotransfer function.: A field-based pedotransfer function

, 2014
11 pagesInternational audienceModern irrigation techniques require accurate, rapid, cost-effective, spatial measurement of soil moisture. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) meets most of these requirements, but needs to be calibrated for each use ...

Use of Pedotransfer Functions in the Rosetta Model to Determine Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity (Ks) of Arable Soils: A Case Study

Land, 2021
A key parameter for the design of soil drainage and irrigation facilities and for the modelling of surface runoff and erosion phenomena in land-formed areas is the saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks).

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

Ecography, EarlyView.
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.

Dataset for Creating Pedotransfer Functions to Estimate Organic Liquid Retention of Soils

Journal of Environmental Geography, 2014
Soil properties characterising pressure-saturation relationships (P-S), such as the fluid retention values or the fitting parameter of retention curves are basic input parameters for simulating the behaviour and transport of nonaqueous phase liquids ...

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1101-1115, August 2026.
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.

Pedotransfer Function for Predicting Orchard Organic Carbon Soil in Haugiang Province, Vietnam

, 2019
The soil organic carbon content played an important role in soil fertility, then fruit yield and quality. The prediction of soil organic carbon in the fields at wider regions requires a large number of samples that are costly to analyze. The objective of

A meta‐analysis of soil carbon fraction response to organic amendments in annual croplands

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Organic amendments are key sources of nutrients in croplands and play an important role in maintaining soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Stabilization of SOC is mediated by environmental and management factors and may differ between mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC).

Pedotransfer functions of soil water properties to estimate the S-index

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
One big challenge for soil science is to translate existing data into data that is needed. Pedotransfer functions have been proposed for this purpose and they can be point or parametric when estimating the water retention characteristics. Many indicators
