Abstract

Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for estimation of soil water retention at field capacity (θFC, -33 kPa) and permanent wilting point (θPWP, -1500 kPa) were developed under three soil categories ( 40% clay) through linear, log-linear and stepwise-regression (SR) approach, using particle size distribution and bulk density data. Under 40% soil clay.
