Buntley-Westin (1965) Index
Description
Calculate "Color Development Equivalent" by the method of Buntley & Westin (1965) "A Comparative Study of Developmental Color in a Chestnut-Chernozem-Brunizem Soil Climosequence" DOI: 10.2136/sssaj1965.03615995002900050029x. Originally developed for Mollisols, the Buntley-Westin index has been used as a tool to separate soils based on depth to particular colors.
Usage
buntley.westin.index(hue, chroma)
Arguments
hue
A character vector containing Munsell hues (e.g. "7.5YR")
chroma
A numeric vector containing Munsell chromas
Value
A numeric vector reflecting horizon color development.
