Review on Pedotransfer Functions for Predicting Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity

Abstract:

The soil pedotransfer functions (PTFs) provide an easily way to estimate the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity, and it predicts missing characteristics from already available basic soil data. In this paper, a review was made on the most common PTFs for the estimation of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity in recent years, including the methods of Rosetta, Rawls, Campbell and Vauclin. Based on the methods, a summary of necessary input parameters and basic properties of the PTFs was made to in this paper. Finally it was pointed out that the future study will focus on how to improve the accuracy and reliability of PTFs and the multi scale study.
