Fig. 6. Regression trees to estimate water retention from laboratory textural class and structural and textural parameters at (a) -33 kPa and (b) -1500 kPa. Left (right) branches lead to samples where the categorical variables have (have not) values shown in the box above splits; the average value of the volumetric water content at -33 kPa for the group is shown beneath terminal nodes.
