R Documentation

Generate a synthetic APSIM soil profile from the SLGA soil database

Description

Retrieves soil data from the SLGA database (Australia) and converts it to an APSIM soil_profile object

Usage

get_slga_soil_profile(
  lonlat,
  statistic = c("mean", "Q0.5"),
  soil.profile,
  find.location.name = TRUE,
  fix = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE,
  check = TRUE,
  physical = c("default", "SR"),
  xargs = NULL
)

Arguments

`lonlat`	Longitude and latitude vector (e.g. c(151.8306, -27.4969)).
`statistic`	default is the mean
`soil.profile`	a soil profile to fill in in case the default one is not appropriate
`find.location.name`	default is TRUE. Use either maps package or photon API to find Country/State. If you are running this function many times it might be better to set this to FALSE.
`fix`	whether to fix compatibility between saturation and bulk density (default is FALSE).
`verbose`	argument passed to the fix function.
`check`	whether to check the soil profile (default is TRUE)
`physical`	whether soil physical properties are obtained from the data base or through ‘SR’, Saxton and Rawls pedotransfer functions.
`xargs`	additional arguments passed to `apsimx_soil_profile` or ‘apsimx:::approx_soil_variable’ function. At the moment these are: ‘soil.bottom’, ‘method’ and ‘nlayers’.

Examples

## Not run: 
## Get soil profile properties for a single point
  sp1 <- get_slga_soil_profile(lonlat = c(151.8306, -27.4969), fix = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
  ## Visualize
  plot(sp1)
  plot(sp1, property = "water")
