Introduction

This is a basic introduction to the SoilProfileCollection class object defined in the aqp package for R.

The SoilProfileCollection class was designed to simplify the process of working with the collection of data associated with soil profiles: site-level data, horizon-level data, spatial data, diagnostic horizon data, metadata, etc.

Examples listed below are meant to be copied/pasted from this document and interactively run within R. Comments (preceded by # symbol) briefly describe what the code in each line does. Further documentation on objects and functions from the aqp package can be accessed by typing help(aqp) (or more generally, ?function_name) at the R console.

Setup

In this tutorial we will use some sample data included with the aqp package, based on characterization data from 10 soils sampled on serpentinitic parent material as described in McGahan et al, 2009.

To begin you will load required packages. You may have to first install these if missing:

# install CRAN release + dependencies
install.packages('aqp', dependencies = TRUE)
install.packages('remotes', dependencies = TRUE)

# install latest version from GitHub
remotes::install_github("ncss-tech/aqp", dependencies = FALSE)

library(aqp)
library(lattice)

# load sample data set, a data.frame object with horizon-level data from 10 profiles

Object Creation

SoilProfileCollection objects are typically created by “promoting” data.frame objects (rectangular tables of data) that contain at least three essential columns:

1. an ID column uniquely identifying groups of horizons (e.g. pedons)
2. horizon top boundaries
3. horizon bottom boundaries

The data.frame is sorted internally according to the profile ID and horizon top boundary. Formula notation is used to define the columns used to promote a data.frame object:

idcolumn ~ hz_top_column + hz_bottom_column

# character vector of horizon templates
# must all use the same formatting
x <- c(
  'P1:AAA|BwBwBwBw|CCCCCCC|CdCdCdCd',
  'P2:ApAp|AE|BhsBhs|Bw1Bw1|Bw2|CCCCCCC',
  'P3:A|Bt1Bt1Bt1|Bt2Bt2Bt2|Bt3|Cr|RRRRRR'
)

# each horizon label is '10' depth-units (default)
s <- quickSPC(x)

# sketch profiles
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0))
plotSPC(s, name.style = 'center-center', 
        cex.names = 1, depth.axis = FALSE, 
        hz.depths = TRUE
)

Accessing, Setting, and Replacing Data

“Accessor” functions are used to extract specific components from within SoilProfileCollection objects.

• Methods that return a column name. These are useful for extracting depths, horizon designations, IDs, etc. before taking an SPC apart for a specific task.

  • idname(sp4): extract profile ID name (column name used to init SPC)
  • horizonDepths(sp4): horizon top / bottom depth names (used to init SPC)
  • hzidname(sp4): horizon ID name (typically automatically built at init time)
  • hzdesgnname(sp4): horizon designation name (if set)
  • hztexclname(sp4): horizon texture class name (if set)

• Methods that return a vector of values.

  • profile_id(sp4): profile IDs, in order
  • hzID(sp4): horizon IDs, in order
  • hzDesgn(sp4): horizon designations, in order

• Methods that return site/horizon attribute column names.

  • names(sp4): site + horizon names concatenated into a single vector
  • horizonNames(sp4): horizon names
  • siteNames(sp4): site names

• Profile and horizon totals.

  • length(sp4): number of profiles in collection
  • nrow(sp4): number of horizons in collection

• Other methods.

  • depth_units(sp4): defaults to ‘cm’ at SPC creation
  • metadata(sp4): returns list object with base + optional (user-defined) metadata elements

Horizon and Site Data

Horizon data and information about key columns (unique profile ID and depths) are the primary input to the methods provided to create the object. Site data can be derived from unique profile-specific values within the input horizon data, or joined in from an external source based on profile ID.

Both site and horizon data are stored as data.frame within the SoilProfileCollection; with one or more rows (per profile ID) in the horizon table and one row (per profile ID) in the site table. The SoilProfileCollection also supports data.table, or tibble objects in the data.frame slots.

Columns from site or horizon tables can be accessed with the $ syntax notation, similar to the data.frame. New data can be assigned to either table in the same manner, as long as the length of the new data is:

1. same length as the number of profiles in the collection (target is the site table)
2. same length as the number of horizons in the collection (target is the horizon table)
3. length 1; and selecting the target table requires site(object)$new_column <- new_value for new site data and horizons(object)$new_column <- new value for horizon

Assignment of new data to existing or new attributes can proceed as follows.

# site-level (based on length of assigned data == number of profiles)
sp4$elevation <- rnorm(n = length(sp4), mean = 1000, sd = 150) 

# horizon-level (calculated from two horizon-level columns)
sp4$thickness <- sp4$bottom - sp4$top 

# extraction of specific attributes by name
sp4$clay # vector of clay content (horizon data)

#>  [1] 21 27 32 55 25 34  3 15 27 32 25 31 33 13 21 23 15 17 12 19 14 14 22 25 40 51 67 24 25 32

sp4$elevation # vector of simulated elevation (site data)

#>  [1]  956.5819 1224.0576  985.1221 1006.2304 1233.3513  883.6690 1236.1293  703.5278  989.2372
#> [10]  766.9905

# unit-length value explicitly targeting site data
site(sp4)$collection_id <- 1

# assign a single single value into horizon-level attributes
sp4$constant <- rep(1, times = nrow(sp4))

# unit-length value explicitly targeting horizon data
horizons(sp4)$analysis_group <- "SERP"

# _moves_ the named column from horizon to site
site(sp4) <- ~ constant 

Horizon and site data can be modified via extraction to data.frame followed by replacement (horizon data) or join (site data). Note that while this approach gives the most flexibility, it is also the most dangerous–replacement of horizon data with new data that don’t exactly conform to the original sorting may corrupt your SoilProfileCollection.

# extract horizon data to data.frame
h <- horizons(sp4)

# add a new column and save back to original object
h$random.numbers <- rnorm(n = nrow(h), mean = 0, sd = 1)

# _replace_ original horizon data with modified version
replaceHorizons(sp4) <- h

# extract site data to data.frame
s <- site(sp4)

# add a fake group to the site data
s$group <- factor(rep(c('A', 'B'), length.out = nrow(s)))

# join new site data with previous data: old data are _not_ replaced
site(sp4) <- s

# check

Diagnostic Horizons

Diagnostic horizons typically span several genetic horizons and may or may not be present in every profile.

To accommodate the wide range of possibilities, diagnostic horizon data are stored as a data.frame in “long format”: each row corresponds to a diagnostic feature in a single profile, identified with a column matching the ID column used to initialize the SoilProfileCollection object and a label reflecting the feature kind.

For diagnostic horizon data there are no restrictions on data content, as long as each row has an ID that exists within the collection. Be sure to use the ID column name that was used to initialize the SoilProfileCollection object.

dh <- data.frame(
  id = 'colusa',
  kind = 'argillic',
  top = 8,
  bottom = 42,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

# overwrite any existing diagnostic horizon data
diagnostic_hz(sp4) <- dh

# append to diagnostic horizon data
dh <- diagnostic_hz(sp4)
dh.new <- data.frame(
  id = 'napa',
  kind = 'argillic',
  top = 6,
  bottom = 20,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

# overwrite existing diagnostic horizon data with appended data
diagnostic_hz(sp4) <- rbind(dh, dh.new)

Root Restrictive Features

Features that restrict root entry (fine or very fine roots) are commonly used to estimate functional soil depth. Restrictive features include salt accumulations, duripans, fragipans, paralithic materials, lithic contact, or an abrupt change in chemical property.

Not all soils have restrictive features, therefore these data are stored as a data.frame in “long format”. Each row corresponds to a restrictive feature, associated depths, and identified by profile_id(). There may be more than one restrictive feature per soil profile.

The example data sp4 does not describe the restrictive features, so we will simulate some at the bottom of each profile + 20cm.

# get the depth of each profile
rf.top <- profileApply(sp4, max)
rf.bottom <- rf.top + 20

# the profile IDs can be extracted from the names attribute
pIDs <- names(rf.top)

# note: profile IDs must be stored in a column named for idname(sp4) -> 'id'
rf <- data.frame(
  id = pIDs, 
  top = rf.top, 
  bottom = rf.bottom, 
  kind = 'fake',
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

# overwrite any existing diagnostic horizon data
restrictions(sp4) <- rf

# check
restrictions(sp4)

#>                id top bottom kind
#> 1          colusa  42     62 fake
#> 2           glenn  34     54 fake
#> 3           kings  40     60 fake
#> 4        mariposa  49     69 fake
#> 5       mendocino  30     50 fake
#> 6            napa  20     40 fake
#> 7      san benito  20     40 fake
#> 8          shasta  40     60 fake
#> 9  shasta-trinity  40     60 fake
#> 10         tehama  16     36 fake

Object Metadata

SoilProfileCollection metadata can be extracted and set using the metadata() and metadata<- methods.

# metadata structure
str(metadata(sp4))

#> List of 6
#>  $ aqp_df_class    : chr "data.frame"
#>  $ aqp_group_by    : chr ""
#>  $ aqp_hzdesgn     : chr "name"

#>  $ depth_units     : chr "cm"
#>  $ stringsAsFactors: logi FALSE

# alter the depth unit metadata attribute
depth_units(sp4) <- 'inches' # units are really 'cm'

# add or replace custom metadata
metadata(sp4)$describer <- 'DGM'
metadata(sp4)$date <- as.Date('2009-01-01')
metadata(sp4)$citation <- 'McGahan, D.G., Southard, R.J, Claassen, V.P. 2009. Plant-Available Calcium Varies Widely in Soils on Serpentinite Landscapes. Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J. 73: 2087-2095.'

# fix depth units, set back to 'cm'
depth_units(sp4) <- 'cm'

Spatial Data

Spatial data and metadata can be stored within a SoilProfileCollection object. To initialize a “spatial” SoilProfileCollection, use initSpatial()<- method. This allows you to specify which columns contain the geometry and optionally the Coordinate Reference System of those data. The SoilProfileCollection stores two metadata entries: coordinates and crs which refer to the column names containing geometric data and the CRS, respectively.

# generate some fake coordinates as site level attributes
sp4$x <- rnorm(n = length(sp4), mean = 354000, sd = 100)
sp4$y <- rnorm(n = length(sp4), mean = 4109533, sd = 100)

# initialize spatial coordinates (CRS optional)
initSpatial(sp4, crs = "EPSG:26911") <- ~ x + y

# extract coordinates as matrix
getSpatial(sp4)

#>              x       y
#>  [1,] 353954.9 4109361
#>  [2,] 354050.5 4109331

prj(sp4) <- '+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=NAD83'

# return CRS information
prj(sp4)

#> [1] "+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=NAD83"

# extract spatial data + site level attributes in new spatial object
sp4.sp <- as(sp4, 'SpatialPointsDataFrame')
sp4.sf <- as(sp4, 'sf')

Validity and Horizon Logic

There are several SoilProfileCollection methods defined to identify corrupted objects/bad depth logic and fix them.

Usually an “invalid” or “corrupt” SoilProfileCollection comes from direct modification of the S4 object slot contents (not using standard methods), which can result in omissions or reordering that bypasses internal accounting methods.

Occasionally issues arise from illogical inputs (depths) or collections that are missing data. The latter cases (standard methods produce a corrupt SPC given some “degenerate” input data) are considered “bugs” that should reported on the issue tracker: https://github.com/ncss-tech/aqp/issues

checkSPC() returns TRUE for a SoilProfileCollection that contains all slots defined in the class prototype.

checkSPC(sp4)

spc_in_sync() is used as the validity method for the SoilProfileCollection, it determines if some reordering of the horizon data relative to the unique profile ID / site order has occurred.

spc_in_sync(sp4)

#>   nSites relativeOrder valid
#> 1   TRUE          TRUE  TRUE

rebuildSPC() is used to re-construct all the required slots of a SoilProfileCollection, given a source, possibly corrupt, object. This function fixes major issues related to the internal ordering of data in slots, as well as missing slots or metadata.

z <- rebuildSPC(sp4)

checkHzDepthLogic() has the ability to perform logical tests on whole profiles or individual horizons. Four different tests are performed related to four common errors in horizon depths:

• bottom depth shallower than top depth

• equal top and bottom depth

• missing (NA) top or bottom depth

• gap or overlap between adjacent horizons

checkHzDepthLogic(sp4)

#>                id valid depthLogic sameDepth missingDepth overlapOrGap

Coercion

SoilProfileCollection objects can be coerced to data.frame, list and SpatialPointsDataFrame (when spatial slot has been set up):

# check our work by viewing the internal structure
str(sp4)

# create a data.frame from horizon+site data
as(sp4, 'data.frame') 

# or, equivalently:
as.data.frame(sp4)

# convert SoilProfileCollection to a named list containing all slots
as(sp4, 'list')

# extraction of site + spatial data as SpatialPointsDataFrame
as(sp4, 'SpatialPointsDataFrame')

Subsetting SoilProfileCollection Objects

SoilProfileCollection objects can be subset using the familiar [-style notation used by matrix and data.frame objects, such that: spc[i, j] will return profiles identified by the integer vector i, and horizons identified by the integer vector j.

Omitting either index will result in all profiles (i omitted) or all horizons (j omitted).

Typically, site-level attributes will be used as the subsetting criteria. Functions that return an index to matches (such as grep() or which()) provide the link between attributes and an index to matching profiles.

# explicit string matching
idx <- which(sp4$group == 'A')

# numerical expressions
idx <- which(sp4$elevation < 1000)

# regular expression, matches any profile ID containing 'shasta'
idx <- grep('shasta', profile_id(sp4), ignore.case = TRUE)

# perform subset based on index
sp4[idx, ]

subset(sp4, group == 'A')
subset(sp4, elevation < 1000)
subset(sp4, grepl('shasta', id, ignore.case = TRUE))

sp4[, 2]

sp4[, , .FIRST]
sp4[, , .LAST]

Splitting, Duplication, and Selection of Unique Profiles

SoilProfileCollection objects are combined by passing a list of objects to the combine() function.

Ideally all objects share the same internal structure, profile ID, horizon ID, depth units, and other parameters of a SoilProfileCollection. Manually subset the example data into 3 pieces, compile into a list, and then combine back together.

# subset data into chunks
s1 <- sp4[1:2, ]
s2 <- sp4[4, ]
s3 <- sp4[c(6, 8, 9), ]

# combine subsets
s <- combine(list(s1, s2, s3))

# double-check result
plotSPC(s)

It is possible to combine SoilProfileCollection objects with different internal structure. The final object will contain the all site and horizon columns from the inputs, possibly creating sparse tables. IDs and horizon depth names are taken from the first object.

# sample data as data.frame objects
data(sp1)
data(sp3)

# rename IDs horizon top / bottom columns
sp3$newid <- sp3$id
sp3$hztop <- sp3$top
sp3$hzbottom <- sp3$bottom

# remove originals
sp3$id <- NULL
sp3$top <- NULL
sp3$bottom <- NULL

# promote to SoilProfileCollection
depths(sp1) <- id ~ top + bottom
depths(sp3) <- newid ~ hztop + hzbottom

# label each group via site-level attribute
site(sp1)$g <- 'sp1'
site(sp3)$g <- 'sp3'

# combine
x <- combine(list(sp1, sp3))

# make grouping variable into a factor for groupedProfilePlot
x$g <- factor(x$g)

# check results
str(x)

# graphical check
# convert character horizon IDs into numeric
x$.horizon_ids_numeric <- as.numeric(hzID(x))

par(mar = c(0, 0, 3, 1))
plotSPC(x, color='.horizon_ids_numeric', col.label = 'Horizon ID')
groupedProfilePlot(x, 'g', color='.horizon_ids_numeric', col.label = 'Horizon ID', group.name.offset = -15)

# continuing from above
# split subsets of x into a list of SoilProfileCollection objects using site-level attribute 'g'
res <- split(x, 'g')
str(res, 1)

d <- duplicate(sp4[1, ], times = 8)
par(mar = c(0, 2, 0, 1))
plotSPC(d, color = 'ex_Ca_to_Mg')

# an example soil profile  
x <- data.frame(
  id = 'A',
  name = c('A', 'E', 'Bhs', 'Bt1', 'Bt2', 'BC', 'C'),
  top = c(0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100),

  z = c(8, 5, 3, 7, 10, 2, 12)
)

# init SPC
depths(x) <- id ~ top + bottom

Plotting SoilProfileCollection Objects

The plotSPC() method for SoilProfileCollection objects generates sketches of profiles within the collection based on horizon boundaries, vertically aligned to an integer sequence from 1 to the number of profiles.

Horizon names are automatically extracted from a horizon-level attribute name (if present), or via an alternate attributed given as an argument: name='column.name'.

Horizon colors are automatically generated from the horizon-level attribute soil_color, or any other attribute of R-compatible color description given as an argument: color='column.name'. This function is highly customizable, therefore, it is prudent to consult help(plotSPC) from time to time. Soil colors in Munsell notation can be converted to R-compatible colors via munsell2rgb().

Many of the following examples make use of par() to set graphical options such as mar (customized margins) and/or xpd = NA (turn off clipping) to optimize display of different numbers of profiles and various plotSPC() arguments.

A detailed description of each argument to plotSPC() (and many examples) can be found in the Soil Profile Sketches tutorial.

Iterating Over Profiles in a Collection

The profileApply() function is an extension of the familiar apply() family of functions extended to SoilProfileCollection objects.

The function named in the FUN argument is evaluated once for each profile in the collection, typically returning a single value per profile. In this case, the ordering of the results would match the ordering of values in the site level attribute table.

# max() returns the depth of a soil profile
sp4$soil.depth <- profileApply(sp4, FUN = max)

# max() with additional argument give max depth to non-missing 'clay'
sp4$soil.depth.clay <- profileApply(sp4, FUN = max, v = 'clay')

# nrow() returns the number of horizons
sp4$n.hz <- profileApply(sp4, FUN = nrow)

# compute the mean clay content by profile using an inline function
sp4$mean.clay <- profileApply(sp4, FUN = function(i) mean(i$clay))

# estimate soil depth based on horizon designation
sp4$soil.depth <- profileApply(sp4, estimateSoilDepth, name = 'name')

When FUN returns a vector of the same length as the number of horizons in a profile, profileApply() can be used to create new horizon-level attributes. For example, the change in clay content by horizon depth (delta.clay, below) could be calculated as:

# save as horizon-level attribute
sp4$delta.clay <- profileApply(sp4, FUN = function(i) c(NA, diff(i$clay)))

# check results:
horizons(sp4)[1:6, c('id', 'top', 'bottom', 'clay', 'delta.clay')]

#>       id top bottom clay delta.clay
#> 1 colusa   0      3   21         NA
#> 2 colusa   3      8   27          6
#> 3 colusa   8     30   32          5
#> 4 colusa  30     42   55         23
#> 5  glenn   0      9   25         NA
#> 6  glenn   9     34   34          9

More complex summaries can be generated by writing a custom function that is then called by profileApply(). Note that each profile is passed into this function and accessed via a temporary variable (i), which is a SoilProfileCollection object containing a single profile. See help(profileApply) for details.

A list of SoilProfileCollection objects returned from a custom function can be combined into a single SoilProfileCollection object via combine().

# compute hz-thickness weighted mean exchangeable-Ca:Mg
wt.mean.ca.mg <- function(i) {
  # use horizon thickness as a weight
  thick <- i$bottom - i$top
  
  # compute the thickness weighted mean, ignoring missing values
  weighted.mean(i$ex_Ca_to_Mg, w = thick, na.rm = TRUE)
}

# apply our custom function and save results as a site-level attribute
sp4$wt.mean.ca.to.mg <- profileApply(sp4, wt.mean.ca.mg)

We can now use our some of our new site-level attributes to order the profiles when plotting.

In this case profiles are ordered based on the horizon-thickness weighted mean, exchangeable Ca:Mg values. Horizons are colored by exchangeable Ca:Mg values.

# plot the data using our new order based on Ca:Mg weighted average
# the result is an index of rank 
new.order <- order(sp4$wt.mean.ca.to.mg)

par(mar = c(4, 0, 3, 0)) # tighten figure margins
plotSPC(sp4,
        name = 'name',
        color = 'ex_Ca_to_Mg',
        plot.order = new.order)

# add an axis labeled with the sorting criteria
axis(1, at = 1:length(sp4), labels = round(sp4$wt.mean.ca.to.mg, 3), cex.axis = 0.75)
mtext(1, line = 2.25, text = 'Horizon Thickness Weighted Mean Ex. Ca:Mg', cex = 0.75)

Pair-Wise Dissimilarity: NCSP()

Calculation of between-profile dissimilarity is performed using NCSP() (Numerical Classification of Soil Profiles). As of aqp 2.0, NCSP() replaces the older implementation in profile_compare() which is now deprecated. Dissimilarity values depend on attributes selection (e.g. clay, CEC, pH , etc.), optional depth-weighting parameter (k), and a maximum depth of evaluation (maxDepth).

See the function manual page and this paper for details.

hzdesgnname(sp4) <- 'name'

# eval dissimilarity:
# using Ex-Ca:Mg ratio and CEC at pH 7
# no depth-weighting (k = 0)
# to a maximum depth of 40 cm
d <- NCSP(sp4, vars = c('ex_Ca_to_Mg', 'CEC_7'), k = 0, maxDepth = 40)

# check distance matrix:
round(d, 1)
