This study aims to accurately describe the soil?water characteristic curve (SWCC) across the full range from saturation to oven dryness. We propose a smooth, continuous three-segmented SWCC model that divides the saturation range into wet, air-dried, and...

The mechanical and hydraulic properties of soils are largely governed by their soil-water characteristics, which are influenced by factors such as pore size distribution (PSD). While biochar is commonly used as an additive to alter soil properties, its e...
