abstract = {Modeling soil hydraulic properties requires an effective
representation of capillary and noncapillary storage and
conductivity. This is made possible by using physically
comprehensive yet flexible soil hydraulic property models.
Such a model (Brunswick [BW] model) was introduced by Weber
et al. (2019, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018WR024584), and it
overcomes some core deficiencies present in the widely used
van Genuchten‐Mualem (VGM) model. We first compared the
performance of the BW model to that of the VGM model in its
ability to describe water retention and hydraulic
conductivity data on a set of measurements of 402 soil
samples with textures covering the entire range of classes.
Second, we developed a simple transfer function to predict
BW parameters based on VGM parameters. Combined with our new
function, any existing pedotransfer function for the
prediction of the VGM parameters can be extended to predict
BW model parameters. Based on information criteria, the
smaller variance of the residuals, and a $40\%$ reduction in
mean absolute error in the hydraulic conductivity over all
samples, the BW model clearly outperforms VGM. This is
possible as the BW model explicitly accounts for hydraulic
properties of dry soils. With the new pedotransfer function
developed in this study, better descriptions of water
retention and hydraulic conductivities are possible. We are
convinced that this will strengthen the utility of the new
model and enable improved field‐scale simulations, climate
change impact assessments on water, energy and nutrient
fluxes, as well as crop productivity in agroecosystems by
soil‐crop and land‐surface modeling. The models and the
pedotransfer function are included in an R package spsh
(https://cran.r‐project.org/package=spsh).},
