Evaluation
The additional data in the dry zone were measured by Lisa Heise within their thesis at TU Braun-
schweig /UMS Munich using a device made by Decagon (WP4C). They are documented in Heise's
thesis (http://www.soil.tubs.de/mitarbeiter/dipl_detail.php? id=78).
The pronounced air entry point and the steep drop down of the retention
curve after reaching the air entry point is characteristic of the sand.
The hydraulic conductivity can be determined only from pF 2.0, and then
drops down steeply.
Suitable models for data description are the Fayer-Simmons model, or the
bimodal model to describe the subsequent drop of the retention values
towards dehydration.
