soil moisture retention curve is one of the soil hydraulic prosperities which its direct measurement is time consuming and expensive. therefore, indirect methods such as developing pedotransfer functions have been used to predict this characteristic from soil readily available or easily measurable data. in this study, multiple linear regression method was used to develop point pedotransfer func...

Atterberg limits are broadly used for engineering and geology purposes as well in agricultural environmental applications. Laboratory methods their determination are, however, laborious, destructive tool dependent. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility using visible near-infrared spectroscopy (vis–NIRS) a fast accurate alternative conventional measurements (LL PL) PI 229 geographica...

Modeling of the land surface water-, energy-, and carbon balance provides insight into behavior Earth System, under current future conditions. Currently, there exists a substantial variability between model outputs, for range types, whereby differences input parameters could be an important reason. For large-scale surface, hydrological, crop models, soil hydraulic properties (SHP) are required ...
