Adjusting the water retention curve for retractable soils
DYNA, 2021 The soil water retention curve (SWRC) relates moisture to soil water retention energy (matrix potential). The calculation of the volumetrichumidity considers the sample volume. In retractable soils, this volume varies according to the drying or wetting of the soil, which can result in errors in the calculated moisture. The objective of this study is to
