USDA.TT.im: Probability density for texture triangle

Description

Probability density for texture triangle (USDA system) based on global soil profile data (see ISRIC WoSIS).

Usage

data(USDA.TT.im)

Format

The USDA.TT.im data frame contains the following columns:

v

numeric; probability density derived using the soiltexture::TT.kde2d function and global soil profile data

TEXMHT

factor; USDA soil texture class estimated by hand (one of the following: "C", "SiC", "SC", "CL", "SiCL", "SCL", "L", "SiL", "SL", "Si", "LS", "S")

s1

numeric; horizontal coordinate (sand content 0--1) in the texture triangle system

s2

numeric; vertical coordinate (0--0.85) in the texture triangle system
