• Estimating the Permeability of Naturally Structured Soil From Percolation Theory and Pore Space Characteristics Imaged by X-Ray 

      Koestel, John; Dathe, Annette; Skaggs, Todd H.; Klakegg, Ove Mindor; Ahmad, Muhammad Arslan; Babko, Maryia; Giménez, Daniel; Farkas, Csilla; Nemes, Attila; Jarvis, Nicholas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-30)
      The saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil, Ks, is a critical parameter in hydrological models that remains notoriously difficult to predict. In this study, we test the capability of a model based on percolation theory ...
    • Pedotransfer functions in Earth system science: challenges and perspectives 

      Van Looy, Kris; Bouma, Johan; Herbst, Michael; Koestel, John; Minasny, Budiman; Mishra, Umakant; Montzka, Carsten; Nemes, Attila; Pachepsky, Yakov A.; Padarian, José; Schaap, Marcel G.; Tóth, Brigitta; Verhoef, Anne; Vanderborght, Jan; van der Ploeg, Martine J.; Weihermüller, Lutz; Zacharias, Steffen; Zhang, Yonggen; Vereecken, Harry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-14)
      Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth’s ecosystems and provides multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to complex knowledge rules that relate available ...
