dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the development of pedotransfer functions (PTFs) and uses a multiple nonlinear regression technique to validate point and parametric PTFs for the estimation of a water-retention curve from basic soil properties such as particle-size distribution, bulk density and organic matter content. One hundred soil samples were collected at different depths from different locations in the Pavanje river basin that lies within the southern coastal region of Karnataka, India. Prediction accuracies were evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R 2), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean error (ME) between measured and predicted values. Overall, both point and parametric methods predicted water contents at selected water potentials with considerable accuracy. However, prediction of the soil water-retention curve using PTFs by point estimation method was relatively more successful (best case R 2 = 0.983) for the sampled soils. F-tests were also conducted for all cases. For one regression equation, the p-value was zero and for other equation, values were close to zero. Critical comparative analysis was carried out on the performances of the point and parametric methods. Use of the developed PTFs is suggested for the prediction of a water-retention curve for loamy sand and sandy loam soils in this area of the coastal region of southern India. 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. | en_US |
