Details

The below table lists the variable names, a description, and the units of the variables. Note that these units are not standard units, and are different from the data for other soil data available through this package.

	var	description	unit
	bdod	Bulk density of the fine earth fraction	cg cm-3
	cec	Cation Exchange Capacity of the soil	mmol(+) kg-1
	cfvo	Vol. fraction of coarse fragments (> 2 mm)	‰
	nitrogen	Total nitrogen (N)	cg kg-1
	phh2o	pH (H2O)	-
	sand	Sand (> 0.05 mm) in fine earth	‰
	silt	Silt (0.002-0.05 mm) in fine earth	‰
	clay	Clay (< 0.002 mm) in fine earth	‰
	soc	Soil organic carbon in fine earth	dg kg-1
	ocd	Organic carbon density	hg m-3
	ocs	Organic carbon stocks	hg m-2
