Using Pedotransfer Functions to Estimate the van Genuchten–Mualem Soil Hydraulic Properties: A Review (2010, background): “To prevent negative values, the lower boundary of the residual moisture content is usually fi xed to zero, which frequently leads to inaccurate descriptions of the observed data and unrealistic paths of the curve (Pachepsky et al., 1996; Khlosi et al., 2006; Haverkamp et al., 2005).”
Estimation of the van Genuchten soil water retention properties from soil textural data. (2010, methodology): “The power-law form of the SWRC is a special case of the pore-solid fractal model (Bird et al., 2000; Huang and Zhang, 2005), and has been presented also by de Gennes (1985), Hunt and Gee (2002), and Xu (2004).”
Predicting Soil Moisture Characteristic Curves from Continuous Particle-Size Distribution Data (2013, background): “…and Rawls, 2004) and 2) physico-emprical models considering the association between the shape of the PSD function and SMC (e.g., Arya and Paris, 1981; Haverkamp and Parlange, 1986; Wu et al., 1990; Smetten and Gregory, 1996; Hwang and Power, 2003; Haverkamp et al., 2005; Vaz et al., 2005).”
Predicting the soil moisture retention curve, from soil particle size distribution and bulk density data using a packing density scaling factor (2014, methodology): “…von Wilpert, 2012), the performance of an empirical method will depend on the databases being used for the model calibration and testing (Tietje and Tapkenhinrichs, 1993; Kern, 1995; Schaap and Leij, 1998; Schaap et al., 2004; Haverkamp et al., 2005; Hwang and Choi, 2006; Weynants et al., 2009).”
