Predicting the soil moisture retention curve, from soil particle size distribution and bulk density data using a packing density scaling factor

A substantial number of models predicting the soil moisture characteristic curve (SMC) from particle size distribution (PSD) data underestimate the dry range of the SMC especially in soils with high clay and organic matter contents. In this study, we applied a continuous form of the PSD model to pre...
