Novel soil datasets and the application of pedotransfer functions provide soil hydraulic input data for modelling hydrological processes at different scales. We aimed to evaluate the reliability of soil hydraulic parameters derived by indirect methods in simulation of soil moisture time series and water budgets at profile level of three sites (Fore...

... Grassland Site is located in Szalafő, in the Upper Zala Valley (46° 51' 17.0'' N, 16° 22' 28.0'' E, 257 m a.s.l.) ( Figure A3). -3 , and measurement range of 0% to 50% volumetric WC. ...Context 2
... is in line with the observed characteristics of the soil profile: the generally high clay content is accompanied by relatively high organic matter content in the topsoil (the highest OM content among the three studied sites), which rapidly drops with depth. Measured, database derived and calibrated vertical profiles of the saturated water content and hydraulic conductivity also suggest such a hydraulic behaviour ( Figure A3). All model variants overpredicted measured values, when the soil started to dry out and through dry periods. ...Similar publications
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from drained organic soils used for agriculture contribute significantly to the overall anthropogenic greenhouse gas budget in land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector. To justify the implementation of climate change mitigation measures on these lands, it is important to estimate at least the regional va...
