soil_parameters: Soil properties

Description

A collection of soil property data.

Usage

soil_parameters

Arguments

Format

A list of named elements, where each element represents the hydraulic properties of one type of soil. The soil types are defined following the USDA soil texture classification scheme, and 11 of the 12 possible types are included ("silt" is not available). The following names are used to indicate the various soil types:

  • sand

  • loamy_sand

  • sandy_loam

  • loam

  • silt_loam

  • sandy_clay_loam

  • clay_loam

  • silty_clay_loam

  • sandy_clay

  • silty_clay

  • clay

For each soil type, the following parameter values are provided:

  • soil_silt_content (dimensionless)

  • soil_clay_content (dimensionless)

  • soil_sand_content (dimensionless)

  • soil_air_entry (J / kg)

  • soil_b_coefficient (dimensionless)

  • soil_saturated_conductivity (J * s / m^3)

  • soil_saturation_capacity (dimensionless)

  • soil_field_capacity (dimensionless)

  • soil_wilting_point (dimensionless)

  • soil_bulk_density (Mg / m^3)
