Parameter estimation of soil water retention curve with Rao-1 algorithm
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2022 The soil water retention curve (SWRC) has a significant role in determining the unsaturated properties of soil. A stochastic optimization algorithm named Rao-1 algorithm is employed to estimate the parameters of the SWRC model in this paper.

Comparison Of Selected Pedotransfer Functions For The Determination Of Soil Water Retention Curves
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2015 Soil water retention curves were measured using a sandbox and the pressure plate extractor method on undisturbed soil samples from the Borská Lowland. The basic soil properties (e.g. soil texture, dry bulk density) of the samples were determined.
