Estimating soil water retention characteristics from particle size distribution, organic matter percent, and bulk density
Abstract
Regression models are presented for estimating soil‐water‐retention curves from particle‐size distribution, percentage of organic matter, and bulk density. Models were developed from the measured soil‐water‐retention curves of artificially packed cores (7.6×7.6 cm) of 43 soil materials. These soil materials included 13 agricultural soils. Curves predicted with these models approximated reasonably well the measured water retention of 61 Missouri soils. Because conventional methods of obtaining retention curves are expensive and time consuming, these equations will be valuable for modeling salt and water flow in soils and for estimating available water capacities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
