Pedotransfer functions are equations used to estimate soil properties of difficult determination, based on other, more easily obtained soil properties. In spite of the considerable number of equations available to predict moisture retention to specific matrix potentials, these should not be used indiscriminatley,since most of them were developed in temperate climate soils, using data obtained by method that differ from the ones used in Brazilian laboratories. The objectives of this study were: (a) to develop pedotransference functions to estimate water […]
