net.simplace.sim.components.soil.pedotransfer.TextureClassesFunctions

Texture Class Functions are developed to determine soil hydraulic properties e.g. total porosity, residual water, field capacity, permanent wilting point, saturated hydraulic conductivity, ALPHA, and N for different soil texture classes based on USDA soil texture classification. The input data used for this estimation are the percentage of silt and clay, organic matter and bulk density.
