PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTIONS FOR WATER RETENTION IN DIFFERENT SOIL CLASSES FROM THE CENTER-SOUTHERN RIO GRANDE DO SUL STATE

ABSTRACT: Among the equations available to describe the relation between matric potential and soil water content, the soil water retention function, the most commonly used is

Soil aggregation in the surface layer (0–5 cm) was better in the no-tillage than the conventional system, related to higher microporosity, organic carbon contents and water

The objective of this research was to evaluate the long-term SS effects on soil physical quality of properties such as bulk density, porosity, permeability and water retention

climate of Santa Catarina, which is constantly moist, associated with high altitudes in some regions of the State, results in a climate ranging from humid subtropical to

Correlation coefficients considering the direct and indirect effects obtained through path analysis, between sand contents (five fractions), silt and particle density (Pd) and

An analysis of the Tomasella PTFs tested for the two data sets (total and surface layer) showed that, in general, the PTFs tested for the surface layer had a better performance

Accuracy analysis for 11 soil samples of the Heavy clay soil textural class: representation of the minimum and maximum values of the confidence intervals (CI), means and
