plot.soil: Soil water curves

Description

Function for plotting water retention or conductivity curves for soil layers.

Usage

# S3 method for soil
plot(
  x,
  type = "RetentionCurve",
  model = "SX",
  layer = 1,
  relative = TRUE,
  to = "SAT",
  ...
)

Value

An object of class ggplot.

Arguments

x

Initialized soil object (returned by function soil).

type

A string of the plot type: "RetentionCurve" or "ConductivityCurve".

model

model Either 'SX' or 'VG' for Saxton's or Van Genuchten's water retention models; or 'both' to plot both retention models.

layer

Soil layer to be plotted.

relative

Boolean flag to indicate that retention curve should be relative to field capacity or saturation.

to

Either 'SAT' (saturation) or 'FC' (field capacity).
