wrc: Points of a water retention curve data set

Description

Soil density and measures of the water retention curve obtained at different pressures on a regular grid with 10x25 points spaced by 5 meters.

Usage

data(wrc)

Format

A data frame with 250 observations on the following 11 variables.

CoordX

a numeric vector with the X coordinates of the samples.

CoordY

a numeric vector with the Y coordinate of the samples.

Densidade

a numeric vector, soil density \((g/cm^3)\)

Pr5

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 5 mca -- \(5 \times 10^2\) Pa (atm)

Pr10

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 10 mca -- \(1 \times 10^3\) Pa (atm)

Pr60

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 60 mca -- \(6 \times 10^3\) Pa (atm)

Pr100

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 100 mca -- \(1 \times 10^4\) Pa (atm)

Pr306

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 306 mca -- \(3 \times 10^4\) Pa (atm)

Pr816

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 816 mca -- \(8 \times 10^4\) Pa (atm)

Pr3060

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 3060 mca -- \(3 \times 10^5\) Pa (atm)

Pr15300

a numeric vector, water content at a pressure of 15300 mca -- \(1.5 \times 10^6\) Pa (atm)

Details

Uniformity trial with 250 undisturbed soil samples collected at 25cm soil depth of spacing of 5 meters, resulting on a regular grid of \(25 \times 10\) sampling points.

For each sampling point there are measurents of the soil density and water content obtained at eight pressures: 5, 10, 60, 100, 306, 816, 3060 and 15300 meters of column of water (mca), corresponding to \(5 \times 10^2\), \(1 \times 10^3\), \(6 \times 10^3\), \(1 \times 10^4\), \(3 \times 10^4\), \(8 \times 10^4\), \(3 \times 10^5\), \(1.5 \times10^6\) Pa.

The experiment aimed to use the water contents of the samples to estimate the water retention curve at the 250 data points.
