Lookup siblings and cousins for a given soil series.
Lookup siblings and cousins for a given soil series, from the current fiscal year SSURGO snapshot via SoilWeb.
siblings(s, only.major = FALSE, component.data = FALSE, cousins = FALSE)
s |
character vector, the name of a single soil series, case-insensitive. |
only.major |
logical, should only return siblings that are major components |
component.data |
logical, should component data for siblings (and optionally cousins) be returned? |
cousins |
logical, should siblings-of-siblings (cousins) be returned? |
The siblings of any given soil series are defined as those soil series (major and minor component) that share a parent map unit with the named series (as a major component). Cousins are siblings of siblings. Data are sourced from SoilWeb which maintains a copy of the current SSURGO snapshot.
