Investigating scale effects in soil water retention curve via spatial time domain reflectometry

Guanxi Yan et al.

Summary: This study compared the soil water retention curves of different types of sands measured by different methods and found discrepancies between the methods with the help of spatial time domain reflectometry. The fineness and grading of the soil can affect the results of the soil water retention curve.

Estimating soil water retention curves from soil thermal conductivity measurements

Yongwei Fu et al.

Summary: The study proposes an empirical method to accurately estimate the soil water retention curve from soil thermal conductivity curves and selected soil properties. By utilizing the LD model and vG model parameters, a better understanding of the relationship between soil water content and matric potential is achieved.

A general form of Archie's model for estimating bulk soil electrical conductivity

Yongwei Fu et al.

Summary: In this study, a general form of Archie's model was developed to describe the relationship between soil electrical conductivity and volumetric water content. The new model performed well by providing estimates with root mean square errors in the range of 0.008-0.399 dS m(-1) and relative errors ranging from 0.7% to 29.8%, showing its potential for further evaluation on a wide range of soil conditions.
