This function accepts a vector of horizon distinctness codes, a look-up vector of codes, and a corresponding vector of vertical offsets. The defaults are based on USDA-NCSS field methods.

hzDistinctnessCodeToOffset(x, codes = c("A", "C", "G", "D"), offset = c(0.5, 1.5, 5, 10))

Arguments

x

vector of distinctness codes to be converted to offsets

codes

vector of unique distinctness codes

offset

vector of offsets associated with distinctness codes

Details

Missing data (NA) or codes that are not defined in the `codes' argument are returned as 0 offsets.

Value

a vector of vertical offsets, with the same length as the number of distinctness codes passed to the function
