Abstract:
... Earth-systems modelling of the critical zone often require soil maps that represent in-field conditions. Some developing regions, such as southern Africa, do not have detailed soil data for all areas and are often reliant on data from global soil maps and data sets. This raises the question of global and regional soil map and soil data accuracy at local levels. Although previous studies have indic ...

Abstract:
... Lack of national soil property maps limits the studies of soil moisture (SM) dynamics in Norway. One alternative is to apply the global soil data as input for macro-scale hydrological modelling, but the quality of these data is still unknown. The objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate two recent global soil databases (Wise30sec and SoilGrids) in comparison with data from local soil profiles; ...

We present a set of new geomorphometric variables that express landscape position relative to breaklines in hillslopes, and test whether these variables are of value in explaining soil property variation in three study sites in the United States, the Netherlands, and Spain. Underlying this work is the recognition that slope breaks, such as cliff lines, lynchets, and large slumped blocks, are assoc ...

Abstract:
... For many decades, soil scientists have produced spatial estimates of soil properties using statistical and non-statistical mapping models. Commonly in soil mapping studies the map quality is assessed through pairwise comparison of observed and predicted values of a soil property, from which statistical indices summarizing the quality of the entire map are computed. Often these indices are based on ...

Abstract:
... Soil moisture is a key state variable in land surface processes. Since field measurements of soil moisture are generally sparse and remote sensing is limited in terms of observation depth, land surface model simulations are usually used to continuously obtain soil moisture data in time and space. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the performance of models that simulate soil moisture under vario ...

Abstract:
... Aggregate size distribution of soil is an important parameter to describe soil properties. For many years, the size of soil aggregates has been measured using the dry sieving method. During sieving, particularly less-stable aggregates may have broken down. However, apart from the sieve method, there was no method enabling direct measurement of aggregates on a dry basis. The modification of the mea ...
