Wraps aqp::getCambicBounds() in soilKey's DiagnosticResult contract. The aqp test enforces the KST 13ed cambic criteria:

  • Texture finer than loamy fine sand (i.e. NOT in the sandy-texture pattern).

  • Soil structure or absence of rock structure.

  • Evidence of pedogenic alteration (chroma / value / clay).

  • NOT meeting argic / oxic / spodic / mollic criteria.

soilKey's cambic (and the SiBCS proxy B_incipiente) implements similar logic but with SiBCS / WRB-flavoured exclusions; the aqp engine here is an independent canonical reference.

Usage

cambic_aqp(pedon, argi_bounds = NULL, ...)

Arguments

pedon

A PedonRecord.

argi_bounds

Optional c(ubound, lbound) for argillic bounds (forwarded to aqp). NULL (default) means the aqp internals re-detect.

...

Reserved for future arguments.

Value

A DiagnosticResult with name = "cambic_aqp".
