Hydrophysical Database for Brazilian Soils (HYBRAS) and Pedotransfer Functions for Water Retention
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 1-17, 2018., 2018 Core Ideas We propose a Hydrophysical Database for Brazilian Soils (HYBRAS). Data in HYBRAS comprise 445 soil profiles, with 1075 samples of Brazilian soils. We compared the accuracy of water retention estimates based on climate‐based PTFs. In general, the Brazilian PTFs performed better than the temperate models for HYBRAS.
