Summary

In this chapter, a review of soil models is carried out. The number of models within the literature is too high to cover every example in depth, so a selection has been made based on age, stage of development and specificity to soil modelling. In addition, several existing soil model reviews have been investigated, to determine the depth of information already available. The best examples for further reading that have been found are those by Molina and Smith (1998), Manzoni and Porporato (2009), Kinnell (2010) and Sheng (2011). Models have also been evaluated for their potential in exploring nature-based solutions, and several recent studies have been highlighted in this area that are relevant for soil modelling.
