This statistical indicator overcomes the insensitivity of R² and EF to systematic over- or underestimations by the model 27

Ex: If porosity of a soil sample is 50% by volume, the moisture in each meter of a saturated soil is equivalent to 50 cm on the field surface. Soil moisture constants: Saturation Capacity (Maximum moisture holding capacity): It is defined as the amount of water required to fill all the pore spaces between soil particles by replacing all the air.
