Source: R/benchmark-febr-loader.R
dot-sibcs_stated_order.Rd

Applied by normalise_febr_sibcs() after the order of the name has been read. Three kinds of label state attributes that SiBCS 5 (Santos et al., 2018) places in another order than the one the name maps to:

Usage

.sibcs_stated_order(order, label)

Arguments

order

The order read from the name (one of .SIBCS_ORDERS).

label

The label in upper case and without accents.

Value

The order the label states, or order.

Details

  • Podzolico Vermelho-Amarelo or Vermelho-Escuro, Eutrofico, with high-activity clay ("Ta", "argila de atividade alta") -> Luvissolos. Anexo I (p. 342) lists under Luvissolos the "Podzolicos Vermelho-Amarelos Eutroficos Ta" and the "Podzolicos Vermelho-Escuros Eutroficos Ta"; .SIBCS_LEGACY_ORDER_MAP reads every Podzolico as Argissolos. The "Podzolicos Amarelos" are Argissolos in Anexo I without condition, and stay so.

  • A label that begins with "Argissolo" and states Eutrofico and high-activity clay -> Luvissolos. The label contradicts itself: an Argissolo has a B textural "de argila de atividade baixa, ou atividade alta desde que conjugada com saturacao por bases baixa ou com carater aluminico" (p. 87), and a B textural with high-activity clay and high base saturation is a Luvissolo (p. 95). Such labels (36 in the national BDsolos export, 19 of them from Acre) read as the old Podzolico names with the first word replaced; the attributes stated are taken, not the word.

  • Cambissolo in the old form, Eutrofico, with high-activity clay and A chernozemico -> Chernossolos: the exception of Anexo I ("exceto os Cambissolos Eutroficos com horizonte A chernozemico e com argila de atividade alta"; p. 90). A label whose second word is a present suborder (Haplico, Humico, Fluvico, Histico) was written in SiBCS and is left as it is.

"Eutrofico" is the word itself: "Epieutrofico", "Endoeutrofico" and the like state the base saturation of part of the profile and do not count. A label that states both "Ta" and "Tb" is left with the order of its name, and so is one that states "Eutrofico" (or "Equivalente Eutrofico") without the clay activity: the book places it in Luvissolos if Ta and in Argissolos if Tb, and the label does not say.
