Models
\(h(\theta)\): van Genuchten moisture-retention model with m = 1
Notes
Prediction target: Residual and saturated volumetric water content and the alpha and n shape parameters of the van Genuchten model with m equal to 1. Table 7 reports regressions for theta_s, theta_r, log(alpha), and log(n) using broad particle-size fractions, carbon content, and bulk density. The paper accepts fitted n values below 1 because constraining n above 1 gave poorer descriptions for many of the measured curves.
Warning
The bulk-density maximum is reviewed as 1.730 g/cm^3 because the supplied transcription's 1.230 value is inconsistent with the reported mean.

Models
\(h(\theta)\): van Genuchten moisture-retention model with m = 1
Notes
Prediction target: Residual and saturated volumetric water content and the alpha and n shape parameters of the van Genuchten model with m equal to 1. Table 8 reports transformed regressions in original particle-size variables for theta_r, log(alpha), and log(n). Detailed particle-size information did not substantially improve theta_s; this function therefore retains the broad-texture theta_s regression.
Warning
The detailed log(alpha) formula restores the carbon and bulk-density terms shown in Table 7 but omitted from the supplied Table 8 transcription. The bulk-density maximum is reviewed as 1.730 g/cm^3 because the supplied transcription's 1.230 value is inconsistent with the reported mean.
