Create site level properties from soil horizon data

Source: R/site_level_soil_properties.R
site_level_soil_properties.Rd

Calculate properties from soil horizon data that will be appended to the site table of a SoilProfileCollection. The entire soil profile is used. Additionally,the byDepth argument allows for calculations to be made on specified depth ranges.

Usage

site_level_soil_properties(
  soil_data,
  checkHzDepthLogic = TRUE,
  stopOnHzLogicFail = TRUE,
  byDepth = list(c(0, 25), c(0, 50))
)

Arguments

soil_data

a soilDB SoilProfileCollection (SPC)

checkHzDepthLogic

evaluate logic of horizon data. A warning or error will be issued depending on the stopOnHzLogicFail argument. aqp::checkHzDepthLogic() should be run on your data is logic errors exist and corrections should be made to data.

stopOnHzLogicFail

will prevent this function from running if logic errors exist in horizon data.

byDepth

a list of depth ranges to calculate properties across. Use NULL if depth ranges are not of interest.

Value

an SPC with ecologically relevant properties appended to the site df
