The below table lists the variable names, a description, and the units of the variables. Note that these units are not standard units, and are different from the data for other soil data available through this package.
var | description | unit | |
bdod | Bulk density of the fine earth fraction | cg cm-3 | |
cec | Cation Exchange Capacity of the soil | mmol(+) kg-1 | |
cfvo | Vol. fraction of coarse fragments (> 2 mm) | ‰ | |
nitrogen | Total nitrogen (N) | cg kg-1 | |
phh2o | pH (H2O) | - | |
sand | Sand (> 0.05 mm) in fine earth | ‰ | |
silt | Silt (0.002-0.05 mm) in fine earth | ‰ | |
clay | Clay (< 0.002 mm) in fine earth | ‰ | |
soc | Soil organic carbon in fine earth | dg kg-1 | |
ocd | Organic carbon density | hg m-3 | |
ocs | Organic carbon stocks | hg m-2 |
