Calculate the bulk density

Source: R/bulk_density.R

This function calculates the bulk density of the soil based on texture and organic matter

calc_bulk_density(B_SOILTYPE_AGR, A_SOM_LOI, A_CLAY_MI = NULL)

Arguments

B_SOILTYPE_AGR

(character) The agricultural type of soil

A_SOM_LOI

(numeric) The percentage organic matter in the soil (%)

A_CLAY_MI

(numeric) The clay content of the soil (%)

Value

The bulk density of an arable soil (kg / m3). A numeric value.

Examples

calc_bulk_density(B_SOILTYPE_AGR = 'zeeklei', A_SOM_LOI = 6.5, A_CLAY_MI = 28)
#> [1] 1059.516
calc_bulk_density(B_SOILTYPE_AGR = 'dekzand', A_SOM_LOI = 3.5)
#> [1] 1346.847
calc_bulk_density(B_SOILTYPE_AGR = c('dekzand','rivierklei'), A_SOM_LOI = c(3.5,8.5))
#> [1] 1346.847 1008.987
