Deriving pedotransfer functions of soil hydraulic properties


Abstract:

Pedotransfer functions (PTF) estimating the parameters of the simplified Van Genuchten equation. for the moisture retention characteristic and the parameters of the Gardner model for the hydraulic conductivity pressure head relation are presented. The derivation of these PTF is based on 40 Belgian soil profiles sampled per genetic horizon and analyzed for soil and hydraulic characteristics. Information needed in the PTF are the granulometric composition, the carbon content, the bulk density and the saturated hydraulic conductivity. -from Authors
