      abstract     = {Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in
                      the Earth's ecosystems and provides multiple ecosystem
                      services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are
                      simple to complex knowledge rules that relate available soil
                      information to soil properties and variables that are needed
                      to parameterize soil processes. In this paper, we review the
                      existing PTFs and document the new generation of PTFs
                      developed in the different disciplines of Earth system
                      science. To meet the methodological challenges for a
                      successful application in Earth system modeling, we
                      emphasize that PTF development has to go hand in hand with
                      suitable extrapolation and upscaling techniques such that
                      the PTFs correctly represent the spatial heterogeneity of
                      soils. PTFs should encompass the variability of the
                      estimated soil property or process, in such a way that the
                      estimation of parameters allows for validation and can also
                      confidently provide for extrapolation and upscaling purposes
                      capturing the spatial variation in soils. Most actively
                      pursued recent developments are related to parameterizations
                      of solute transport, heat exchange, soil respiration and
                      organic carbon content, root density and vegetation water
                      uptake. Further challenges are to be addressed in
                      parameterization of soil erosivity and land use change
                      impacts at multiple scales. We argue that a comprehensive
                      set of PTFs can be applied throughout a wide range of
                      disciplines of Earth system science, with emphasis on land
                      surface models. Novel sensing techniques provide a true
                      breakthrough for this, yet further improvements are
                      necessary for methods to deal with uncertainty and to
                      validate applications at global scale.},
