The scope of application of PedoTransfer Functions (PTFs) has been expanded from estimating soil hydraulic properties to other soil characteristics such as thermal properties, solute transport and root water uptake, soil carbon pools and nitrogen mineralization. In this workshop we want to present the state-of-the-art in developing and applying PTFs across Earth science disciplines and to identify research needs and challenges for the future.
Introduction: (H. Vereecken) 9.00-9.10 Status Pedotransfer functions in Earth system sciences: K. Van Looy, H. Vereecken 9.10-9.30 PTFs for water related processes: (M. Schaap) 9.30-9.45 PTFs for energy related processes: (A. Verhoef) 9.45-10.00 On the role of structure in PTFs: (J. Koestel) 10.00-10.15 PTFs for Biogeochemical processes (L. Weihermüller/M. Herbst) 10.45-11.00 Methodological challenges PTFs in Earth system models (B.Minasny/J.Padarian) 11.00-11.15 Informing land surface models with observation & geospatial science (U. Mishra) 11.15-11.30 Global mapping / modeling possibilities (C. Montzka) 15mn Participation: by invitation
