Example pedons for the types of the German KA5 soil systematics

Source: R/key-ka5.R
make_ka5_example.Rd

Small, plausible profiles written for the tests and examples, one per type of Tab. 51 (56), with designations in the KA5 notation (declared in site$designation_system) and the properties soilKey's order of tests reads on the data. They are not real profiles. near_miss = TRUE gives a twin that misses the type's gate (a depth, a share, a record moved across it); route = "data" drops the designations and the declared notation, so that the horizons are read on the data.

Usage

make_ka5_example(
  type = c("KV", "KM", "KH", "HH", "HN", "JP", "JG", "JS", "JD", "IA", "IW", "UEA", "MR",
    "MC", "MO", "MK", "MD", "MH", "MN", "GH", "GM", "GN", "GG", "AO", "AT", "AQ", "AZ",
    "AB", "FF", "FS", "OO", "OL", "TC", "TT", "RN", "RQ", "RR", "RZ", "XX", "YK", "YE",
    "YY", "YU", "YO", "SG", "SH", "SS", "PP", "LF", "LL", "BB", "CR", "CF", "DD", "VV",
    "VW"),
  near_miss = FALSE,
  route = c("notation", "data"),
  subtype = NULL,
  variety = NULL
)

Arguments

type

The code of a type: "KV", "KM", "KH", "HH", "HN" (Moore); "JP", "JG", "JS", "JD", "IA", "IW" (subhydric); "UEA" (the Strand, the key's Ue-A), "MR", "MC", "MO", "MK", "MD", "MH", "MN", "GH", "GM", "GN", "GG", "AO", "AT", "AQ", "AZ", "AB" (semiterrestrial); "FF", "FS", "OO", "OL", "TC", "TT", "RN", "RQ", "RR", "RZ", "XX", "YK", "YE", "YY", "YU", "YO", "SG", "SH", "SS", "PP", "LF", "LL", "BB", "CR", "CF", "DD", "VV", "VW" (terrestrial).

near_miss

Return the twin that misses the type's gate.

route

"notation" (default) or "data".

subtype

The code of a subtype, as printed ("BBn", "GG-BB", "LF-YU", "BB-GG", "MRb", "KV-KM" ...; the 223 of pp. 202-262, the Strand's also as "UEAn", and the open "[GHu]" and "[KHm]"): the example profile of that subtype, written from one of its printed formulas with depths inside its windows (type and near_miss are then not read). The type examples key to the Norm subtype of their type (the Treposol's to an example subtype, the Moorgley's to the Niedermoorgley: they have no Norm).

variety

The code of a variety of Tab. 49 ("p", "g", "eu", "mo", "v" ...; the 38): an example profile of a subtype Tab. 50 offers it to, with the variety's horizon or record (type, near_miss and subtype are then not read).

Value

A PedonRecord.
