2 SWAT is a physically-based hydrological model spatially distributed parameters Soil parameters (input data + calibration) lack of profound data in tropics (e.g. soil hydraulic properties) pedotransfer functions as work-around, but hydrological behavior of tropical soils is different (e.g. pseudosand particles)

3 This study aims to present a reference soil database for applying SWAT in catchments of the Brazilian Savanna, by providing initial parameter values and their ranges of variation.

4 Upper Jardim Experimental River Basin (~105 km²)

5 The Cerrado Biome (Brazilian savanna region) Cerrado s.s. Mata de galeria Campo Large scale cropping (soybean, corn)

6 Upper Jardim Experimental River Basin (data collection) Red Latosols 22 points Red-Yellow Latosols 19 Cambisols 10 Gleysols 2 Plinthosols 2 Yellow Latosol 1 Quartzarenic Neosols - 12 (DF) Core and disturbed samples 15 and 60 cm Water table level - Ks

7 Upper Jardim Experimental River Basin (data collection) Soil information Method Reference Soil texture Sieving and pipetting (3x) Embrapa (1997) Bulk density Volumetric ring (3x) Embrapa (1997) Saturated hydraulic conductivity Soil water retention curve (SWRC) Constant head permeameter (6x); Slug test Klute (1965) Hvorslev (1951) Centrifuge (3x) Reatto et al. (2008) Available water content SWRC: 10 to 1,500 kpa Reichardt (1988) Organic matter Oxidation (3x) Embrapa (1997) Soil erodibility Regional PTF Lima et al. (2007)

12 The study provides reference values for defining layerspecific soil parameters in the Cerrado biome We also present physically meaningful parameter ranges, which can be used for model calibration. increasing applicability and reliability of the SWAT model when used in the Cerrado biome might be useful as blueprint for further studies in other regions might contribute to global SWAT soil database
