hz_to_taxpartsize {aqp}

Allocate Particle Size Class for the Control Section.

Description

This function aggregates information in the horizon table and allocates it to the particle size class for the control section.

Usage

hz_to_taxpartsize(
  x,
  y,
  taxpartsize = "taxpartsize",
  clay = "clay",
  idcol = "id",
  depthcols = c("top", "bottom")
)

Arguments

x

a data.frame containing the original horizon table.

y

a data.frame containing the particle size control section depths for each idcol.

taxpartsize

character column name for taxonomic family particle size class.

clay

character column name for clay percent.

idcol

character: column name of the pedon ID within the object.

depthcols

a character vector of length 2 specifying the names of the horizon depths (e.g. c("top", "bottom")).

Details

This function differs from texture_to_taxpartsize in that is aggregates the results of texture_to_taxpartsize, and accounts for strongly contrasting particle size classes.

Value

A data.frame object containing the original idcol, the aggregated particle size control section allocation, and an aniso column to indicate more than one contrasting class.
