Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Description

getsoilparams Obtains van Genuchten soil paramaters for a given soil type from an internal dataset

Usage

1
getsoilparams(soiltype)

Arguments

soiltype

a single character, matrix or raster of characters as listed in the dataset soilparams()

Details

This function derives the following van Genuchten paramaters used to estimate hydrualic conductivity and diffusivity (see van Genuchten 1980 Soil Science Society of America Journal 44:892-898). The returned list contains the following elements: n the pore size distribution parameter (dimensionless, > 1), alpha van Genuchten shape paramater (cm^-1), Ksat saturated hydraulic conductivity (cm / day), Smin Residual water content (cm^3 / cm^3), Smax Water content at saturation (cm^3 / cm^3). Each element of the list is of the same class as soiltype.

Value

a list of van Genuchten parameters (see details)
