Scale-Dependent Pedotransfer Functions Reliability for Estimating Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity

Saturated hydraulic conductivity Ksat is a fundamental characteristic in modeling flow and contaminant transport in soils and sediments. Therefore, many models have been developed to estimate Ksat from easily measureable parameters, such as textural properties, bulk density, etc. However, Ksat is not only affected by textural and structural characteristics, but also by sample dimensions e.g., i...

development of some pedotransfer functions to predict the saturated hydraulic conductivity of gravel soils using partial least square regression method

abstract saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is one of the most important physical properties of soils which is expensive and time-consuming to directly measure. hence, indirect methods, such as pedotransfer functions (ptfs), were developed to predict the ks. previous studies showed that most of the ptfs common in the literature can not suitably predict the ks. hence, this study was conducted...

Characterization of field saturated hydraulic conductivity

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract In the context of studies aiming at the estimation of effective parameters for unsaturated zone modelling, this work tackles the problem of experimental data quality, considering the large collection of data gathered at an experimental sit...

Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Semiarid Soils: Combined Effects of Salinity, Sodicity, and Rate of Wetting

als, high pH, and low sesquioxides content was found to be susceptible to sodic conditions, with the magnitude Combined effects of soil conditions (wetting rate), soil sodicity, of the decrease in HC being strongly dependent on the and salinity on soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (HC) have not been studied systematically and were the objective of our study. We electrolyte concentration in ...
