Modified Soil Water Characteristic Curve

The Modified Soil Water Characteristic Curve describes how soil retains and releases water at different levels of moisture. It helps predict how much water is available to plants or how quickly soil dries out. By adjusting for factors like soil type and structure, this curve provides a more accurate understanding of soil-water interactions, essential for agriculture, engineering, and environmental management. Essentially, it shows the relationship between soil moisture content and how tightly water is held within the soil particles.
