plant_cover_LUT

The dataset is a look-up-table that is used to estimate the soil cover
 percentage by plant with the function `SoilManageR::plant_cover()`. 
 The data set is produced from the excel table `plant_cover_LUT.xlsx`
 file under `/inst/extdata/`.

datasets

Calculate numerical agricultural soil management indicators from on a management timeline of an arable field. Currently, indicators for carbon (C) input into the soil system, soil tillage intensity rating (STIR), number of soil cover and living plant cover days, N fertilization and livestock intensity, and plant diversity are implemented.
The functions can also be used independently of the management timeline to calculate some indicators. The package contains tables with reference information for the functions, as well as a '*.xlsx' template to collect the management data.
