Soil water curves

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

Usage

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

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).
...: Additional parameters to specific functions

An object of class ggplot.

The function is a common wrapper to specialized internal functions (see soil_retentionCurvePlot).
