Fig. 8. Mean water content ({theta}) relative to field capacity ({theta}fc) and the permanent wilting point ({theta}pwp), {Theta}* = ({theta}{theta}pwp)/({theta}fc{theta}pwp), at first occurrence of limiting hydraulic conditions ({Theta}*mean,lim) as a function of potential transpiration rate (Tp) for low, medium, and high root density in the sand, loam, and clay soils.
