Convert one or more PedonRecord objects to an aqp SoilProfileCollection

Source: R/aqp-interop.R
as_aqp.Rd

Builds a aqp::SoilProfileCollection from one PedonRecord or a list of them. Standard soilKey columns (top_cm, bottom_cm, designation, clay_pct, sand_pct, silt_pct) are renamed to aqp's canonical convention (top, bottom, name, clay, sand, silt). All other columns are passed through unchanged. Site-level slots (lat, lon, country, parent_material, reference_*, nasis_diagnostic_features, etc.) are attached to the SPC's site table.

Usage

as_aqp(x)

Arguments

x

A PedonRecord or a list of them.

Value

A aqp::SoilProfileCollection.

Details

Requires the aqp package, listed in Suggests; the function raises a clear error if aqp is not installed.

from_aqp, the inverse conversion.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
library(soilKey)
library(aqp)

pedons <- list(make_ferralsol_canonical(), make_luvisol_canonical())
spc <- as_aqp(pedons)
length(spc)         # 2 profiles
aqp::horizons(spc)  # one row per horizon, aqp-named columns
} # }
