Load a canonical reference dataset from the SoilTaxonomy package

Reads one of the parsed WRB 2022 / Keys to Soil Taxonomy datasets from the installed SoilTaxonomy package (NCSS-tech, GPL-3). soilKey ships no copy of these data: install SoilTaxonomy from CRAN to use this function.

Usage

canonical_reference(
  name = c("WRB_4th_2022", "ST_criteria_13th", "ST_features"),
  prefer_pkg = TRUE
)

Arguments

name

One of "WRB_4th_2022", "ST_criteria_13th", "ST_features".

prefer_pkg

Retained for compatibility and no longer used. Until v0.9.203 FALSE selected a copy bundled with soilKey; there is no bundled copy any more, so the data always come from SoilTaxonomy.

Value

The dataset as the original R object (list or data.frame).
