Compaction modeling of contrasting brazilian tropical soils: Implications of pseudosilt and reference values in proposing pedotransfer functions by Alexandre Garcia Rezende, Italo Rômulo Mendes de Souza, Camila Moraes Fonseca, Josué Gomes Delmod, Erika Andressa Silva, Katia Aparecida de Pinho Costa, Eduardo da Costa Severiano

“…The hypothesis of this study is that, for the compaction modeling using transfer functions for Brazilian tropical soils, the proposition of reference values for soil physical attributes is intrinsic to soil texture and may be influenced by the analytical aspects of their determination The aim was to model soil compaction in contrasting Brazilian tropical soils by evaluating two soils with contrasting textures, defining beneficial or limiting/critical reference bulk density values for structural conditions associated with edaphic functions, and providing improvements to pedotransfer functions to assess soil structure by considering the analytical aspects of soil physical attributes. …”
