The warming climate is rapidly changing the circumpolar region, presenting new opportunities and challenges for agricultural production in South Greenland. projected to increase frequency of drought periods, but little known about soil–water retention (SWR) plant available water (PAW) soils region.

Saturated hydraulic conductivity is one of the most essential soil parameters, influencing surface runoff and water erosion formation. Both field laboratory methods measurement this property are time or cost-consuming. On other hand, empirical very easy, quick costless. The aim work was to compare 15 pedotransfer models determination their usefulness for assessment saturated highly eroded loess...

Modeling of irrigation and agricultural drainage requires knowledge the soil hydraulic properties. However, uncertainty in direct measurement saturation moisture content (θs) has been generated several methodologies for its estimation, such as Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs) Artificial Neuronal Networks (ANNs). In this work, eight different PTFs were developed which relate to proportion sand clay...

Abstract. Soil moisture predictions from land surface models are important in hydrological, ecological, and meteorological applications. In recent years, the availability of wide-area soil measurements has increased, but few studies have combined model-based with situ observations beyond point scale. Here we show that can markedly improve estimates Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) mo...

Abstract Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) describing soil water retention curves (WRCs) have been widely used in crop, soil, and land surface models. A limitation of the available PTFs is that they fail to account for shape changes WRCs due bulk density variations caused by tillage, compaction, other processes. This study develops new include effects on WRC shape. framework introduced build densit...
