Hydro-pedotransfer functions: a roadmap for future development [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process-based and empirical models, thereby enabling the assessment of soil ...

Using of pedotransfer functions for assessment of hydrolimits [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2002
Soil hydrologic coefficients, also called hydrolimits, are soil water contents defined for certain values of water potentials. Closer attention is paid to three hydrolimits: field capacity, point of decreased availability, and wilting point.

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)

New generation of hydraulic pedotransfer functions for Europe. [PDF]

Eur J Soil Sci, 2015
Summary A range of continental‐scale soil datasets exists in Europe with different spatial representation and based on different principles. We developed comprehensive pedotransfer functions ( PTF s) for applications principally on spatial datasets with continental coverage.

Relationship between hydraulic properties and plant coverage of the closed-landfill soils in Piacenza (Po Valley, Italy) [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2015
In this paper the results of a study of soil hydraulic properties and plant coverage of a landfill located in Piacenza (Po Valley, Italy) are presented, together with the attempt to relate the hydraulic properties in relation with plant coverage.

Prediction of soil evaporation measured with weighable lysimeters using the FAO Penman–Monteith method in combination with Richards’ equation

Vadose Zone Journal, 2021
Multiannual data (2016–2018) from 12 weighed lysimeters (four soil types with textures ranging from sandy loam to silt loam, three replicates) of the TERENO SOILCan network were used to evaluate if evaporation (E) rates could be predicted from weather ...

Development of pedotransfer functions for Brazilian soils

Conjecturas, 2022
Pedotransfer Functions (PFT’s) have several applications in the agri-environmental field, hydrodynamically characterizing soils in a less costly and more accessible way. The work proposed to develop equations that characterized Brazilian tropical soils through numerical validations available in the HYBRAS database, comparing them with others available ...

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.

Estimation of the soil water retention curve (SWRC) using pedotransfer functions (PTFs)

Soil and Water Research, 2007
Soil hydraulic characteristics, especially the soil water retention curve and hydraulic conductivity, are essential for many agricultural, environmental, and engineering applications. Their measurement is time-consuming and thus costly.

Refining pedotransfer functions for estimating peat bulk density [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2017
Several previous studies have demonstrated the close relationship between peat dry bulk density and gravimetric moisture content. However, the basis for including peat ash (mineral) content or variation in the specific gravity of peat solids has not been
