basicSoilRating: Basic soil rating (subsurface factors)

In mitmon/SRS: Suitability Rating System Version 6

Basic soil rating (subsurface factors)

Description

The basic soil rating determines a point deduction based on the subsurface parameters of the soil. There are five parameters for subsurface factors. These are impeding layer (structure and consistence) (D), contrasting texture, reaction (pH) (V), salinity (EC) (N), sodicity (SAR) (Y). Currently, E, N, Y, and O are not used. Future updates will include this additional information.

Usage

basicSoilRating(
  subsurfaceSiltPercent,
  subsurfaceClayPercent,
  subsurfaceBulkDensity,
  impedingLayerDepth,
  ppe,
  subsurfacepH,
  subsurfaceSalinity,
  subsurfaceSodicity
)

Arguments

subsurfaceSiltPercent	Percentage of subsurface (depths 60-200cm) silt
subsurfaceClayPercent	Percentage of subsurface (depths 60-200cm) clay
subsurfaceBulkDensity	Subsurface bulk density
impedingLayerDepth	Subsurface impeding layers depth (cm)
ppe	Precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration
subsurfacepH	Subsurface pH measured in substrate paste (depths 60-200cm)
subsurfaceSalinity	Subsurface salinity (depths 60-200cm)
subsurfaceSodicity	Subsurface sodicity (depths 60-200cm)

Value

Percentage deduction for basic soil rating.
