Soil data calibration

The requirement of soil data for calibrating and validating ORYZA2000 depends on the options of soil sub models. A detailed data could significantly reduce the difficulty of calibration and improve the accuracy of validation. The table below presents the soil data requirements for ORYZA2000 modeling. The sampling and measuring methods of all variables are the standard procedures introduced in many handbooks. A few references are also listed below for further reading.

The soil data for calibration and validation of ORYZA2000. The number followed by the ‘*’ indicate the necessary data, otherwise the data are optional.
