This review covers, in a comprehensive manner, the approaches available in the literature to
upscale soil water processes and hydraulic parameters in the vadose zone. We distinguish …

A quantitative description of water flow and solute transport in the unsaturated zone of the
soil is required to predict the impact of human influences on the environment. This paper …

Due to inadequate data support, existing algorithms used to estimate soil hydraulic
conductivity, K, in (eco) hydrological models ignore the effects of key site factors such as …

Understanding soil moisture variability and its relationship with water content at various
scales is a key issue in hydrological research. In this paper we predict this relationship by …

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (KS) is an important soil hydraulic parameter for it
establishes a limit on the rate of water and solute transmission through soil. However, its …

Aerobic grasslands may consume significant amounts of atmospheric methane (CH4). We
aimed (i) to assess the spatial and temporal variability of net CH4 fluxes from grasslands on …

Tropical montane rain forests are subject to both natural and anthropogenic disturbances,
such as shallow landslides and forest-to-pasture conversion. Vegetation regrowth is rapid …

Among the soil formation factors, relief is one of the most used in soil map**, because of
its strong correlation with the spatial variability of soil attributes over a landscape. In this …

This study investigates spatial patterns of Ks and tests the hypothesis of whether structural
variance emerges from noise with increasing sampling precision. We analyzed point …

Measuring infiltration within a landscape is important because it is one of the key processes
controlling water budgets for the agricultural production and transport processes in the soil …
