Abstract:Near-surface soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are fundamental for describing and predicting water and energy exchange processes, particularly at the soil–atmosphere interface, and regulating evapotranspiration, infiltration, and runoff in different ecosystems. In this study, a new method was proposed to estimate near-surface SHPs by combining sensor-based soil infiltrability measurements with inverse modeling using HYDRUS-2D. The infiltration rate (IR) was estimated by combining the linear source inflow method… Show more
