setsoiltypes: Four set soil types used for SOILWAT2 simulations

In DrylandEcology/rMultivariateMatching: Multivariate matching for site selection and interpolation using multi-dimensional datasets

Description

A data frame of the percentage of sand and clay by weight of four set soil types used for SOILWAT2 (Schlaepfer et al., 2012; Schlaepfer & Andrews, 2018; Schlaepfer & Murphy, 2018) simulations in Bradford et al. (2019). Rownames provide the treatment number for each soil type (these numbers are appended as a decimal onto the unique site numbers 'site_id' in the 'subsetcells' dataset to create the 'site_ids').

Usage

setsoiltypes

Format

A data frame with 4 rows and 2 variables:

sand

Percentage sand content of soil by weight

clay

Percentage clay contet of soil by weight

Source

Soil texture types were determined through an analysis of the soil texture classes for big sagebrush ecosystems across the western US as described in Appendix S3 of Palmquist et al. (2021).
