Towards a pan‐European assessment of land susceptibility to wind erosion

…, C Ballabio, E Lugato, M Weynants… - Land Degradation & …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding spatial and temporal patterns in land susceptibility to wind erosion is essential
to design effective management strategies to control land degradation. The knowledge …

Using pedotransfer functions to estimate the van Genuchten–Mualem soil hydraulic properties: A review

H Vereecken, M Weynants, M Javaux… - Vadose Zone …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We reviewed the use of the van Genuchten–Mualem (VGM) model to parameterize soil
hydraulic properties and for developing pedotransfer functions (PTFs). Analysis of literature data …

Revisiting Vereecken pedotransfer functions: Introducing a closed‐form hydraulic model

M Weynants, H Vereecken, M Javaux - Vadose Zone Journal, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We revisited the Vereecken database, which has been used to derive pedotransfer functions
(PTFs) to estimate the soil hydraulic parameters of Belgian soils. We developed new PTFs …

European hydropedological data inventory (EU-HYDI)

M Weynants, L Montanarella, G Toth… - EUR Scientific and …, 2013 - biblio.ugent.be
There is a common need for reliable hydropedological information in Europe. In the last
decades research institutes, universities and government agencies have developed local, …

3D soil hydraulic database of Europe at 250 m resolution

B Tóth, M Weynants, L Pásztor… - Hydrological …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Soil hydraulic properties are required in various modelling schemes. We propose a consistent
spatial soil hydraulic database at 7 soil depths up to 2 m calculated for Europe based on …

Land degradation in the European Union—Where does the evidence converge?

F Gianoli, M Weynants, M Cherlet - Land Degradation & …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Land degradation, as a compound of processes that affect land resources worldwide, is
notoriously difficult to assess. In Europe, the European Commission has been pressed by the …

Forecasting localized weather impacts on vegetation as seen from space with meteo-guided video prediction

…, J Cortés, Z Gao, N Linscheid, M Weynants… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We present a novel approach for modeling vegetation response to weather in Europe as
measured by the Sentinel 2 satellite. Existing satellite imagery forecasting approaches focus on …

[HTML][HTML] Land productivity dynamics in and around protected areas globally from 1999 to 2013

B de la Fuente, M Weynants, B Bertzky, G Delli… - Plos one, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Tracking changes in total biomass production or land productivity is an essential part of
monitoring land transformations and long-term alterations of the health and productive capacity …

[HTML][HTML] Updated European hydraulic pedotransfer functions with communicated uncertainties in the predicted variables (euptfv2)

B Szabó, M Weynants… - Geoscientific Model …, 2021 - gmd.copernicus.org
Soil hydraulic properties are often derived indirectly, ie computed from easily available soil
properties with pedotransfer functions (PTFs), when those are needed for catchment, regional …

How efficient are one-dimensional models to reproduce the hydrodynamic behavior of structured soils subjected to multi-step outflow experiments?

E Laloy, M Weynants, CL Bielders, M Vanclooster… - Journal of …, 2010 - Elsevier
In this paper we investigate numerically the three following questions: (1) Do MSO data
show the impact of soil structure on water flow? (2) If so, to what extent are the common one-…
