Infiltration from the Pedon to Global Grid Scales: An Overview and Outlook for Land Surface Modeling

Infiltration in soils is a key process that partitions precipitation at the land surface into surface runoff and water that enters the soil profile. We reviewed the basic principles of water infiltration in soils and we analyzed approaches commonly used in land surface models (LSMs) to quantify infi...
