Calculate numerical agricultural soil management indicators from on a management timeline of an arable field. Currently, indicators for carbon (C) input into the soil system, soil tillage intensity rating (STIR), number of soil cover and living plant cover days, N fertilization and livestock intensity, and plant diversity are implemented.
    The functions can also be used independently of the management timeline to calculate some indicators. The package contains tables with reference information for the functions, as well as a '*.xlsx' template to collect the management data.

Basic and model-based soil physical analyses.

Functions for modeling Soil Organic Matter decomposition
        in terrestrial ecosystems with linear and nonlinear systems of differential equations. 
        The package implements
        models according to the compartmental system representation described in 
        Sierra and others (2012) <doi:10.5194/gmd-5-1045-2012> and Sierra and others (2014)
        <doi:10.5194/gmd-7-1919-2014>.

The developed function generates soil salinity indices using satellite data, utilizing multiple spectral bands such as Blue, Green, Red, Near-Infrared (NIR),
             and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR1, SWIR2). It computes 24 different salinity indices crucial for monitoring and analyzing salt-affected soils efficiently.
             For more details see, Rani, et al. (2022). <DOI: 10.1007/s12517-022-09682-3>. One of the key features of the developed function is its flexibility.
             Users can provide any combination of the required spectral bands, and the function will automatically calculate only the relevant indices based on the available data.
             This dynamic capability ensures that users can maximize the utility of their data without the need for all spectral bands, making the package versatile and user-friendly.
             Outputs are provided as GeoTIFF file format, facilitating easy integration with GIS workflows.

Taxonomic dictionaries, formative element lists, and functions related to the maintenance, development and application of U.S. Soil Taxonomy. 
   Data and functionality are based on official U.S. Department of Agriculture sources including the latest edition of the Keys to Soil Taxonomy. Descriptions and metadata are obtained from the National Soil Information System or Soil Survey Geographic databases. Other sources are referenced in the data documentation. 
   Provides tools for understanding and interacting with concepts in the U.S. Soil Taxonomic System. Most of the current utilities are for working with taxonomic concepts at the "higher" taxonomic levels: Order, Suborder, Great Group, and Subgroup.
