Chemical migration during soil water retention curve evaluation.
Wetting and drying (W-D) cycles can induce important elemental migrations in soils. The main purpose of this work was to study the possible existence of soil chemical elemental migrations in samples submitted to repeated W-D cycles during evaluations of soil water retention curve (SWRC). The experimental measurements were carried out by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) for Ca(2+), Mg(2+) an...
متن کاملprediction of soil water retention curve using soil particle-size distribution
the soil water retention curve (swrc) is a basic characteristic of the determination of soil hydraulic properties, including unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. measurement of this curve is essential to research, thus scientists have focused on indirect methods such as pedotransfer functions and empirical relationships to estimate swrc easily. since there is a close relationship between swrc an...
متن کاملderivation of pedotransfer function to estimate parameters of double-exponential equation for soil water retention curve
soil water retention curve is one of the crucial input parameters in any modeling study on water flow and solute transport in soils. direct measurement of soil water retention curve is time-consuming and costly. alternatively, pedotransfer functions (ptfs) may be used to indirectly estimate the soil water retention curve from easily measured soil properties. many equations for the soil water re...
متن کاملWater Retention and Characteristic Curve
A soil-water characteristic (SWC) curve describes the amount of water retained in a soil (expressed as mass or volume water content, m or v) under equilibrium at a given matric potential. An SWC is an important hydraulic property, related to size and connectedness of pore spaces, hence strongly affected by soil texture and structure, and by other constituents, including organic matter. Modeling...
متن کاملestimating soil water retention curve using the particle size distribution based on fractal approach
introduction: water and soil retention curve is one of the most important properties of porous media to obtain in a laboratory retention curve and time associated with errors. for this reason, researchers have proposed techniques that help them to more easily acquired characteristic curve. one of these methods is the use of fractal geometry. determining the relationship between particle size di...
