Geomorphic Position Probability via SDA

Hillslope position probability estimates from the SDA query service (SSURGO)

hillslopeProbability(s, replaceNA=TRUE)
surfaceShapeProbability(s, replaceNA=TRUE)
geomPosHillProbability(s, replaceNA=TRUE)
geomPosMountainProbability(s, replaceNA=TRUE)

Arguments

s

a character vector of soil series names, automatically normalized to upper case

replaceNA

boolean: should missing classes be converted to probabilities of 0?

Details

These functions send a query to the SDA webservice. Further information on the SDA webservice and query examples can be found at http://sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov/QueryHelp.aspx

Value

A data.frame object with rows representing soil series, and columns representing probability estimates of that series occurring at specified geomorphic positions or associated with a surface shape.

Note

Probability values are computed from SSURGO data.
