DOI: https://doi.org/10.34977/euptfv2.01 <br/>Authors: Szabó, Brigitta; Gyurkó, Dávid; Weynants, Melanie and Weber, Tobias K. D.<br/>Publisher: Institute for Soil Sciences and Agricultural Chemistry, Centre for Agricultural Research<br/>Version: v.2.0.0<br/>Release date: 31 July 2019

This is a web interface to predict soil hydraulic parameters from easily available soil properties. The prediction algorithms (pedotransfer functions: PTFs) have been derived on the European Hydropedological Data Inventory (EU-HYDI) (Weynants et al., 2013). Please find further information about the predictions in Szabó et al. (2020).

The following soil hydraulic parameters can be computed with the application:


The obligatory and optional input parameters needed for the predictions:


Sample input data

For the prediction the input data should be uploaded in CSV file format on the Run model site. The name, unit, data type of soil properties in the dataset should be the above mentioned, please find a data sample here:
