Details

When possible, missing C:N ratios are calculated for records in the layer and fraction tables using reported values for organic C and total N. Variable "lyr_c_org_filled" must exist for function to work on layer table data. If you are running the function on a standard ISRaD database object (i.e. NOT ISRaD_extra) it is recommended to run the function "ISRaD.extra.Cstocks" first in order to create and fill the required "lyr_c_org_filled" column.

Examples

# Load example dataset Gaudinski_2001
database <- ISRaD::Gaudinski_2001
# Create lyr_c_org_filled column
database.x <- ISRaD.extra.Cstocks(database)
# Fill CN data
database.x <- ISRaD.extra.fill_CN(database.x)
