rosetta: a computer program for estimating soil hydraulic parameters with hierarchical pedotransfer functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a computer program, rosetta, which implements five hierarchical pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for the estimation of water retention, and the saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity.

Pedotransfer functions: bridging the gap between available basic soil data and missing soil hydraulic characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present different equations describing hydraulic characteristics and of pedotransfer functions used to predict parameters in these equations, as well as the use of different soil properties as predictors.

Responses of soil heterotrophic respiration to moisture availability: An exploration of processes and models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview and new insights into the mechanisms involved in the respiration-moisture relationship, and provide the best estimates of average empirical relationships using published data and comparing the results for contrasting soil types.

A closed-form equation for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils

TL;DR: Van Genuchten et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a closed-form analytical expression for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils based on the Mualem theory, which can be used to predict the unsaturated hydraulic flow and mass transport in unsaturated zone.

Information Theory and an Extention of the Maximum Likelihood Principle

H. Akaike
TL;DR: The classical maximum likelihood principle can be considered to be a method of asymptotic realization of an optimum estimate with respect to a very general information theoretic criterion to provide answers to many practical problems of statistical model fitting.
