A simplified Excel® algorithm for estimating the least limiting water range of soils

The least limiting water range (LLWR) of soils has been employed as a methodological approach for evaluation of soil physical quality in different agricultural systems, including forestry, grasslands and major crops. However, the absence of a simplified methodology for the quantification of LLWR has...

description The least limiting water range (LLWR) of soils has been employed as a methodological approach for evaluation of soil physical quality in different agricultural systems, including forestry, grasslands and major crops. However, the absence of a simplified methodology for the quantification of LLWR has hampered the popularization of its use among researchers and soil managers. Taking this into account this work has the objective of proposing and describing a simplified algorithm developed in Excel® software for quantification of the LLWR, including the calculation of the critical bulk density, at which the LLWR becomes zero. Despite the simplicity of the procedures and numerical techniques of optimization used, the nonlinear regression produced reliable results when compared to those found in the literature. O intervalo hídrico ótimo (IHO) dos solos tem sido empregado como uma metodologia para a avaliação da qualidade física do solo em diferentes sistemas agrícolas, incluindo áreas florestais, pastagens e grandes culturas. Entretanto, a inexistência de uma metodologia simplificada para a quantificação do IHO tem dificultado a popularização do uso desta técnica entre pesquisadores e técnicos. Levando isto em consideração, este trabalho tem como objetivo propor e descrever um algoritmo simplificado, desenvolvido em planilha eletrônica Excel®, para quantificação do IHO, incluindo o cálculo da densidade do solo crítica, na qual o IHO é nulo. Apesar da simplicidade dos procedimentos e técnicas numéricas de otimização utilizados, a regressão não-linear produziu resultados confiáveis quando comparados com aqueles encontrados em literatura.
