Estimation of Soil Water Properties
Abstract
ABSTRACT RELATIONSHIPS of soil water tension and hydraulic conductivity with soil water content are needed to quantify plant available water and to model the move-ment of water and solutes in and through soils. Field and laboratory measurement of these hydraulic soil proper-ties is very difficult, laborous, and costly. To provide the best estimates possible from previous analyses, a com-prehensive search of the literature and data sources for hydraulic conductivity and related soil-water data was made in 1978. From this search, data for 1,323 soils with about 5,350 horizons from 32 states were assembled. From the data, the Brooks and Corey water retention parameters, soil water retention volumes at 0.33 bar and 15 bar, total porosity, and saturated conductivities for the major USDA soil textures classes were developed. Also, relationships for predicting water retention volumes for particular tensions and saturated hydraulic conductivities based on soil properties are presented.

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.
