DOI: 10.1016/j.still.2019.02.009

Scope

Territory: Tropical Sri Lanka.

Dataset: 323 soil horizons retained after removing samples with missing water-content data from the SRI-CANSOL survey of 110 profiles. The survey covers almost all soil series and land uses except the northern part of Sri Lanka. Models were evaluated using tenfold cross-validation.
