Description
The relationship between field measured saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) in the Shawnee Hills pedons
and the calculated Ksat based on particle size analysis will be used to test and refine the USDA NRCS
algorithm to calculate Ksat from static and commonly measured soil properties (e.g. soil particle size
distribution). By incorporating predicted climate change models with the modeled soil water holding capacity,
we will be able to predict plant-available soil-water storage which will have implications for future land use
and food production. We will provide accessible science to the agricultural community by showing how
decisions on land management coupled with potential climate change can translate into an ability to continue
agricultural production in the coming century.
