estimate_h: Estimation of the thickness of the sample

In BlueCarbon: Estimation of Organic Carbon Stocks and Sequestration Rates from Soil Core Data

Estimation of the thickness of the sample

Description

checks for space between samples and, if any, divide this space between the previous and next sample to return sample thickness without gaps in the core

Usage

estimate_h(
  df = NULL,
  core = "core",
  mind = "mind_corrected",
  maxd = "maxd_corrected"
)

Arguments

df	A data.frame with columns core, mind (minimum depth of the sample) and maxd (maximum depth of the sample)
core	Character Name of the column reporting core ID.
mind	Character Name of the column reporting the minimum depth of each sample.
maxd	Character Name of the column reporting the maximum depth of each sample.

Value

the initial data.frame with three additional columns:

• emin (estimated minimum depth of the sample)

• emax (estimated maximum depth of the sample)

• h (estimated thickness of the sample)

Examples

bluecarbon_decompact <- decompact(bluecarbon_data)
out <- estimate_h(bluecarbon_decompact)
