South Eastern Australia Vertosol Water Retention

Brief description

This dataset has been developed by R.W. Vervoort, S.R. Cattle and B. Minasny using funding from the Australian Cotton CRC and its predecessor the CRC for Sustainable Cotton Production. The dataset contains: Water retention data: contains the relation between the wetness and the potential (h) between –1 kPa and –150000 kPa. NOTE: THIS IS IN GRAVIMETRIC WATER CONTENT OR WETNESS (g/g) NOT VOLUMETRIC WATER CONTENT (cm3 cm-3), WHICH IS MORE COMMON. Experimental procedures for the data collection and references relating to the measurements in this database are described in the Cotton CRC project 1.2.4 Final Report (July 2001), and the following reference: Vervoort, R.W., S.R.
