Notes
Prediction target: Water contents at 1500, 33, and 0 kPa, plant-available water, air-entry tension, retention coefficients, normal density, and saturated hydraulic conductivity. Sand and clay are decimal mass fractions, while organic matter is a percentage. The 1500 and 33 kPa values are also termed wilting point and field capacity.
Warning
Do not apply the regression above 8% organic matter or 60% clay. Sand and clay fractions must describe one soil and therefore must sum to at most 1. These statistical-average estimates should be calibrated to local measurements when available.
