ind_waterretention {OBIC}

Calculate indicator for Water Retention index

Description

This function evaluates different Water Retention Indices. These include : 'wilting point','field capacity','water holding capacity','plant available water' and 'Ksat'

Usage

ind_waterretention(D_P_WRI, type = "plant available water")

Arguments

D_P_WRI

(numeric) The value for Water Retention index (WRI) as calculated by calc_waterretention

type

(character) The type of water retention index. Options include c('wilting point','field capacity','water holding capacity','plant available water','Ksat')

Value

The evaluated score for the soil function to retain and buffer water. Depending on the "type" chosen, the soil is evaluated for 'wilting point','field capacity','water holding capacity','plant available water' or 'Ksat'. Output is a numeric value varying between 0 and 1.

Examples

ind_waterretention(D_P_WRI = 75)
ind_waterretention(D_P_WRI = c(15,50,75,150))
ind_waterretention(D_P_WRI = c(0.1,0.2,0.5,0.8), type = 'water holding capacity')
