abstract = {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 stochastic analysis of the unsaturated
Brooks-Corey flow in heterogeneous soils. Using sensitivity
analysis, we show that parameters of the moisture retention
characteristic and their spatial variability determine to a
large extent the shape of the soil moisture variance-mean
water content function. We demonstrate that soil hydraulic
properties and their variability can be inversely estimated
from spatially distributed measurements of soil moisture
content. Predicting this relationship for eleven textural
classes we found that the standard deviation of soil
moisture peaked between 0.17 and 0.23 for most textural
classes. It was found that the beta parameter, which
describes the pore-size distribution of soils, controls the
maximum value of the soil moisture standard deviation.},
