I am performing some tests with pressure plate apparatus on clayey to loamy soils. I need to compare results. However not able to find a reference paper with reported values of moisture content at 0.33 bar and 15 bar pressure.
Kindly help with some studies in which pressure plate apparatus is used and values are reported.
Thanking you in anticipation
You Can check the Springer Special Issue Journal and Nature Journal.

Hi Rohan, a paper and associated references by Bittelli and Flury might be of interest, Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J. 73:1453-1460 doi:10.2136/sssaj2008.0082
I hope it helps.

Dear Mr. Oak,
I published some years ago some papers with collaborators in which you can find soil water content measurements at -33 and -1,500 kPa for soils from Brazil and Venezuela. Some of these measurements were carried out in clay soils. Perhaps, these articles can be useful to you:
1- Gamma ray computed tomography to evaluate wetting/drying soil structure changes. Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B 229 (2005) 443–456.
2- Predicting soil water content at − 33 kPa by pedotransfer functions in stoniness soils in northeast Venezuela. Environ Monit Assess (2018) 190: 161.
3- Soil physico-hydrical properties changes induced by weed control methods in coffee plantation. Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment 246 (2017) 261-268.
Best regards.
