Functional relationships between soil water content and water suction were examined and related to textural and organic carbon content data. Soil water retention curves between 5 and 10 000 kPa were determined on disturbed samples of 18 soils representing various soil Great Groups in the Canadian prairies. Thebest fit was obtained with a two-straight-line regression model. Correlation andregression analysis showed that texture was the main soil property influencing the shape and position of the water retention curve. Organic matter influenced primarily the water content at which a break in the curve occurred. Zoil zone and cultivation
