“…The soil porosity is then classified as mono, bi or multimodal, considering the number of peaks in the PSDC (Lu et al 2014). For instance, bimodal featured soils have their pores possibly occurring in two domains: matrix or textural (intraaggregate pores) and structural (inter-aggregate In order to determine the SWrC, the van genuchten model (van genuchten 1980) is often employed to parameterize data of soil water content (θ) as function of the matric potential (h) (Auler et al 2014, 2017b, Pires et al 2017b, Naveed et al 2014. Nonetheless, there are other acceptable models currently used to achieve this aim (Fredlund and Xing 1994, Leong and Rahardjo 1997, Karup et al 2017.…”
