cific surface area- S BET , the percentage content of organic carbon - C org , the content<br />
of gravitational water – W G and the water content under the potential corresponding<br />
with the field water capacity - FWC, the values of correlation coefficient 0.81<br />
≤ R ≤ 0.85 were obtained. The relatively high correlation coefficients caused that<br />
this model was used for particular <strong>soil</strong> textures. The correlation coefficient values<br />
within the range 0.86 ≤ R ≤ 0.96 were obtained for the following set of parameters:<br />
the percentage content of clay- F clay , the percentage content of sand – F sand , the specific<br />
surface - S BET , the percentage content of organic carbon - C org , the content of<br />
gravitational water – W G and the water content under the potential corresponding<br />
with the field water capacity – FWC. The general form of this model’s equation is:<br />

The <strong>soil</strong> hydrophysical characteristics obtained by measurements or/and modeling<br />
can be use as input data for water transport models.<br />
In the frame of EURO-ACCESS (AgroClimatic Change and European Soil<br />
Suitability) project [1, 4, 6, 7, 9] (Fig. 6.) the model of crop growth and yield prediction<br />
was elaborated. Hydrological part of this model is based on onedimensional<br />
Richard’s equation. For the purpose of heterogeneity of the <strong>soil</strong> profile,<br />
in the Institute of Agrophysics PAS, the model of bypass flow was elaborated<br />
and included into the hydrological part of EURO-ACCESS model.<br />
Main assumptions of bypass flow submodel:<br />
Heterogeneous <strong>soil</strong> profile is divided into homogeneous compartments.<br />
Vertical water flow in <strong>soil</strong> matrix is described by Richard’s equation (onedimensional<br />
flow model).<br />
Part of water is flowing directly in macropores (proportionally to relative<br />
cracks area).<br />
Part of water which can not vertically infiltrate in <strong>soil</strong> profile (runoff) is flowing<br />
into the macropores.<br />
Water fills crack (Fig. 7.), giving the hydrostatic pressure distribution at the<br />
crack wall which is used as the boundary condition for the water infiltration into<br />
the <strong>soil</strong>.<br />
Initial moisture for each time step of horizontal infiltration is assumed to be<br />
constant in space.<br />
The Green-Ampt approach is use for the horizontal infiltration description.<br />
