This pedotransfer function calculates the bulk density of the soil based on texture and organic matter
Usage
bln_p_density(A_SOM_LOI, A_CLAY_MI, A_DENSITY_SA = NA_real_)
Arguments
- A_SOM_LOI
(numeric) The percentage organic matter in the soil (%)
- A_CLAY_MI
(numeric) The clay content of the soil (%)
- A_DENSITY_SA
(numeric) The bulk density of the soil (kg/m3)
Value
The bulk density of an arable soil (kg / m3) evaluated given the maximum density that limit the root penetration.
Examples
bln_p_density(A_SOM_LOI = 6.5, A_CLAY_MI = 28)
#> [1] 0.9466822
bln_p_density(A_SOM_LOI = 3.5, A_CLAY_MI = 2)
#> [1] 0.8395679
bln_p_density(A_SOM_LOI = c(3.5,8.5),A_CLAY_MI = c(2,28))
#> [1] 0.8395679 0.9618062
