Prediction of water retention properties of clayey soils: validity of relationships using a single soil characteristic

1994

Bruand, A. | Baize, D. | Hardy, M.

Regression equations successfully allowed the calculation of water retained at -0.3 X 10(5) Pa and -15 X 10(5) Pa matric potentials from single soil characteristics, such as bulk volume or clay content in clayey horizons derived in similar ways from a single parent material. It is possible to use these regression equations on other soils with similar clay fabrics. The fabric is expressed numerically using the pore volume associated with clay particles.
