Approximation of the soil particle-size distribution curve using a NURBS curve

open access: yesSoil and Water Research
Soil particle-size distribution or soil texture presents one of the most important physical properties. There are various systems of the classification systems for soil particle-size fractions with different boundaries. Our effort was concentrated on the
