abstract = {Most soil hydraulic information used in Earth System Models
(ESMs) is derived from pedo-transfer functions that use
easy-to-measure soil attributes to estimate hydraulic
parameters. This parameterization relies heavily on soil
texture, but overlooks the critical role of soil structure
originated by soil biophysical activity. Soil structure
omission is pervasive also in sampling and measurement
methods used to train pedotransfer functions. Here we show
how systematic inclusion of salient soil structural features
of biophysical origin affect local and global hydrologic and
climatic responses. Locally, including soil structure in
models significantly alters infiltration-runoff partitioning
and recharge in wet and vegetated regions. Globally, the
coarse spatial resolution of ESMs and their inability to
simulate intense and short rainfall events mask effects of
soil structure on surface fluxes and climate. Results
suggest that although soil structure affects local
hydrologic response, its implications on global-scale
climate remains elusive in current ESMs.},
