Soil water curves

Description

Function for plotting water retention or conductivity curves for soil layers.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'soil'
plot(
  x,
  type = "RetentionCurve",
  model = "SX",
  layer = 1,
  relative = TRUE,
  to = "SAT",
  ...
)

Arguments

x	Initialized soil object (returned by function soil).
type	A string of the plot type: "RetentionCurve" or "ConductivityCurve".
model	model Either 'SX' or 'VG' for Saxton's or Van Genuchten's water retention models; or 'both' to plot both retention models.
layer	Soil layer to be plotted.
relative	Boolean flag to indicate that retention curve should be relative to field capacity or saturation.
to	Either 'SAT' (saturation) or 'FC' (field capacity).
...	Additional parameters to specific functions

Details

The function is a common wrapper to specialized internal functions (see soil_retentionCurvePlot).

Value

An object of class ggplot.
