Infiltration from the Pedon to Global Grid Scales: An Overview and Outlook for Land Surface Modeling
(2019)Vadose Zone JournalInfiltration in soils is a key process that partitions precipitation at the land surface into surface runoff and water that enters the soil profile. We reviewed the basic principles of water infiltration in soils and we analyzed approaches commonly used in land surface models (LSMs) to quantify infiltration as well as its numerical implementation and sensitivity to model parameters. We reviewed methods to upscale infiltration from the ...Review Article -
Modeling Soil Processes: Review, Key Challenges, and New Perspectives
(2016)Vadose Zone JournalThe remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil models has occurred in the last decades, models of soil processes remain disjointed between disciplines or ecosystem services, with considerable uncertainty remaining in the quality of predictions and several challenges that remain yet to be addressed. First, ...Review Article
