ECconversion4 {soilassessment}

A function for harmonizing salt measurements into equivalent electrical conductivity in dS/m

Description

This function allows approximate conversion of other soil salt measurements into equivalent electrical conductivity (EC) in dS/m. These measurements include total soluble salts (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS) and EC in mmho/cm

Usage

ECconversion4(x,target)

Arguments

x

is a numeric value of salt to convert to equivalent EC in dS/m

target

the target salt measurement to be converted into equivalent electrical conductivity (EC) in dS/m. It can be TDS (mg/l or ppm), TSS (mmol/l), EC in (mmho/cm)

Details

The target is specified as TDS or TSS or mmho.

Value

The output is a numeric value of equivalent electrical conductivity (EC) in dS/m

Note

TDS should be given in mg/l or ppm. TSS should be given in mmol/l. The function does not convert salt values between different measurement methods
