Tests for >= 10% volume of duripan nodules (Si-cemented) within a horizon at least 10 cm thick. Diagnostic of Durisols.

Usage

duric_horizon(pedon, min_thickness = 10, min_duripan_pct = 10)

Arguments

pedon

A PedonRecord.

min_thickness

Minimum thickness (cm; default 10 per WRB 2022).

min_duripan_pct

Minimum duripan volume % (default 10 per WRB 2022).

Value

A DiagnosticResult.

v0.3.1: thresholds aligned with WRB 2022 Ch 3.1.7 (10%, 10 cm) – previous v0.3 used 15%/15 cm. Petroduric (cemented continuous duripan) detection still deferred and will be added in v0.4.
