In soilphysics: Soil Physical Analysis

Estimation of compressive properties by de Lima et al. (2018)

Description

It calculates the compressive parameters N, lambda and kappa using the pedo-transfer function from de Lima et al. (2018)

Usage

 
compressive_properties3(bulk.density, matric.suction, soil=c("SandyLoam","SandyClayLoam"))

Arguments

bulk.density	a numeric vector containing the values of bulk density, Mg m^{-3}
matric.suction	a numeric vector containing the values of matric suction, hPa
soil	the soil texture group 'SandyLoam' or 'SandyClayLoam'. See exemples

Details

Pedo-transfer function deveploed under no-till condition. See de Lima et al. (2018)

Value

N	the specific volume at p = 1 kPa, N
CI	the compression index, lambda
k	the recompression index, kappa
