Pedotransfer functions for point and parametric estimations of soil water retention curve
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2006 A water retention curve is required for the simulation studies of water and solute transport in unsaturated or vadose zone. Unlike the direct measurement of water retention data, pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have attracted the attention of researchers ...
