Abstract
Regression equations successfully allowed the calculation of water ret ained at -0.3 x 10(5) Pa and -15 x 10(5) Pa matric potentials from sin gle soil characteristics, such as bulk volume or clay content, in clay ey horizons derived in similar ways from a single parent material. It is possible to use these regression equations on other soils with simi lar clay fabrics. The fabric is expressed numerically using the pore v olume associated with clay particles.
