from Greek: πέδον, pedon -> soil
Python package for (unsaturated) soil properties including pedotransfer functions. This package takes an object-oriented approach to soils, soil samples and soil models. Soil models that are available in this package are:
- Mualem-Van Genuchten
- Brooks-Corey
- Fredlund & Xing
- Gardner
- Panday (Modflow-USG)
This package can fit soil water retention curves and using least squares (same as RETC) to measurements.
Measurements for different soil properties and parameters are available from these datasets:
Additionaly, there are pedotransfer functions implemented such as:
- Van Genuchten: Wösten
- Van Genuchten: Staring Series
- Brooks-Corey: Cosby
To get the latest stable version install using:
pip install pedon
To get the development version download the GitHub code to your computer. Use cd to get to the download directory and install using:
