Important changes in soilDB-2.0

NASIS

  • low-level functions return empty data.frame objects when local database (or selected set) is empty
  • fetchNASIS() is now a wrapper around pedon and component "fetch" functions
  • uncode() is now used in all queries to local NASIS database
  • many (coded) column names in pedon @site and @horizons have changed
  • lower cases is used for all un-coded data

Examples

library(soilDB)
library(plyr)
library(reshape2)

# search by series name
s <- fetchKSSL(series='auburn')

# search by bounding-box
# s <- fetchKSSL(bbox=c(-120, 37, -122, 38))

# how many pedons
length(s)

# plot 
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(s, name='hzn_desgn', max.depth=150)


# get morphologic data too

# get lab and morphologic data
s <- fetchKSSL(series='auburn', returnMorphologicData = TRUE)

# extract SPC
pedons <- s$SPC

# simplify color data
s.colors <- simplifyColorData(s$morph$phcolor, id.var = 'labsampnum', wt='colorpct')

# merge color data into SPC
h <- horizons(pedons)
h <- join(h, s.colors, by='labsampnum', type='left', match='first')
horizons(pedons) <- h

# check
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(pedons, color='moist_soil_color', print.id=FALSE, name='hzn_desgn')

# simplify fragment data
s.frags <- simplfyFragmentData(s$morph$phfrags, id.var='labsampnum')

# merge fragment data into SPC
h <- horizons(pedons)
h <- join(h, s.frags, by='labsampnum', type='left', match='first')
horizons(pedons) <- h

# check
par(mar=c(0,0,3,0))
plot(pedons, color='total_frags_pct', print.id=FALSE, name='hzn_desgn')
addVolumeFraction(pedons, 'total_frags_pct', pch=1, cex.min=0.25, cex.max = 0.5)
