Modeling the soil water retention curves of soil-gravel mixtures with regression method on the Loess Plateau of China.

Soil water retention parameters are critical to quantify flow and solute transport in vadose zone, while the presence of rock fragments remarkably increases their variability. Therefore a novel method for determining water retention parameters of soil-gravel mixtures is required. The procedure to ge...
