Example SoilProfilecollection Objects Returned by fetchNASIS.

Several examples of soil profile collections returned by fetchNASIS(from='pedons') as SoilProfileCollection objects.

Examples

# \donttest{
# load example dataset
  data("gopheridge")

  # what kind of object is this?
  class(gopheridge)
#> [1] "SoilProfileCollection"
#> attr(,"package")
#> [1] "aqp"

  # how many profiles?
  length(gopheridge)
#> [1] 52

  # there are 60 profiles, this calls for a split plot

  # plot soil colors

  # need a larger top margin for legend
