Evaluation of Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating Soil Water Retention Curve of Ap Horizon Soils for Various Soil Series of Reclaimed Tidal Flat Soil

This investigation was to evaluate the applicability and prediction accuracy of pedotransfer function (PTF) to estimate the water retention curves of Ap horizon soils for five soil series which cannot be directly used to cultivate upland crops other than rice because of their high salinity. Soil wat...

Description
Summary:This investigation was to evaluate the applicability and prediction accuracy of pedotransfer function (PTF) to estimate the water retention curves of Ap horizon soils for five soil series which cannot be directly used to cultivate upland crops other than rice because of their high salinity. Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) were obtained from 150 undisturbed soil samples collected from the Ap horizons of which soil textures were grouped into sandy loam with high contents of sand (>60%) and low clay contents (60%) and low sand content (
