Small, plausible profiles written for the tests and examples, one per order of the New Zealand Soil Classification, with designations in the New Zealand notation and the properties the order key reads. Most key to the last (Orthic or default) group of their order. Their subgroup may be provisional where a measure the subgroups read is missing (sulfidic S, exchangeable Ca and Mg, the origin of the layers). They are not real profiles.

Usage

make_nzsc4_example(
  order = c("organic", "gley", "ultic", "podzol", "allophanic", "pumice", "melanic",
    "semiarid", "oxidic", "granular", "pallic", "brown", "anthropic", "recent", "raw")
)

order

One of "organic", "gley", "ultic", "podzol", "allophanic", "pumice", "melanic", "semiarid", "oxidic", "granular", "pallic", "brown", "anthropic", "recent", "raw".

Value

A PedonRecord.
