iSDA soil data for Africa

Description

Download soil data for Africa derived from the iDSA data set. The original data were aligned and aggregated to 30 arc-seconds (about 1 km2). The original spatial resolution was 30m.

Usage

soil_af_isda(var, depth=20, error=FALSE, path, virtual=FALSE, ...) 

Arguments

var	character. The variables name, one of: "Al", "bdr", "clay", "C.tot", "Ca", "db.od", "eCEC.f", "Fe", "K", "Mg", "N.tot", "oc", "P", "pH.H2O", "sand", "silt", "S", "texture", "wpg2", "Zn".see Details
depth	numeric. One of 20 (for 0-20 cm) and 50 (for 20-50 cm). Ignored if var="bdr" for which the depth is always 0-200 cm
error	logical. If TRUE the error estimates are returned
path	character. Path for storing the downloaded data. See geodata_path
virtual	logical. If TRUE a virtual connection to the file is returned. This is useful if you want to extract a small area without downloading the entire raster
...	additional arguments passed to download.file
