Estimation of the Retention and Availability of Water in Soils of the State of Santa Catarina

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2018
: Soil water retention and availability are important properties for agricultural production, which can be measured directly or estimated by pedotransfer functions. Some studies on this topic were carried out in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

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.

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.

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).

Comparison of Pedotransfer Functions for Determination of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity for Highly Eroded Loess Soil

Land, 2023
Saturated hydraulic conductivity is one of the most essential soil parameters, influencing surface runoff and water erosion formation. Both field and laboratory methods of measurement of this property are time or cost-consuming.

Assessing the Relative Roles of Soil Water Potential and Atmospheric Demand on Vegetation Water Stress in Semi‐arid Ecosystems

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding vegetation's response to soil water availability and atmospheric demand is critical for assessing the impact of drought and climate change on semi‐arid ecosystems. However, limited field‐based research has been conducted to assess the relative importance of these drivers on vegetation productivity.

Comparison of pedotransfer functions for the determination of saturated hydraulic conductivity coefficient

Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2017
On one hand, direct methods of measurement of saturated hydraulic conductivity coefficient are time consuming, and on the other hand, laboratory methods are cost consuming. That is why the popularity of empirical methods has increased.

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.

SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF HYDRO-RELATED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF AL-RASHEED LOAM

The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science, 2022
A field study was conducted on 2 hectare area at Al- Rashid district, south of Baghdad to analyze the spatial variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), initial infiltration rate (IR), Porosity (F) and bulk density (BD).

Assessing Soil Resources in the Western Balkans: Insights From the LUCAS Soil Survey

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July–August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Western Balkans region is undergoing significant socio‐economic and environmental transformations as it aligns its policies with the European Union (EU). A key aspect of this alignment is the implementation of EU soil‐related policies, which requires a comprehensive understanding of regional soil properties.
