Pedotransfer functions developed for calculating soil saturated hydraulic conductivity in check dams on the Loess Plateau in China

Abstract Soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a key soil hydraulic property that determines the hydrological cycle of check dam–dominated catchment areas. However, Ks data are lacking due to the difficulty of directly measuring this variable in deep soil layers. In this study, 45 soil profi...
