compressive_properties4 {soilphysics}

Estimation of compressive properties by de Lima et al. (2020)

Description

It calculates the compressive parameters N, lambda and kappa using the pedo-transfer function from de Lima et al. (2020)

Usage

 
compressive_properties4(matric.suction, soil=c("PloughLayer","PloughPan"))

Arguments

matric.suction

a numeric vector containing the values of matric suction, hPa.

soil

the soil compaction state 'PloughLayer' or 'PloughPan'. See the examples.

Details

Pedo-transfer function developed for a sandy loam soil texture. 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
