New classes for soil texture categories
USDA uses its triangle technique to determine soil texture http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/nrcs142p2_050242.jpg
- USDA triangle technique soil texture catagories: sand, loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, sandy clay, loam, clay loam, clay, silty clay, silty clay loam
FAO has 2 techniques to determine soil texture, and these techniques have there own soil texture scale.
- FAO Ball and ribbon method soil texture categories: sand , loamy sand , sandy loam, loam, heavy loam , light clay, clay
- FAO ball throwing technique soil texture categories: loamy sand , sandy loam , medium texture (loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam), clay loam, clay
Would it be possible to create a new class for each of this soil texture and tag them with the technique they belong to?
These terms would need to be created (except terms crossed). triangle technique ~~sand~~, loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, sandy clay, ~~loam~~, clay loam, ~~clay~~, silty clay, silty clay loam
Ball and ribbon method ~~sand~~ , loamy sand , sandy loam, ~~loam~~, heavy loam , light clay, ~~clay~~
ball throwing technique loamy sand , sandy loam , medium texture (~~loam~~, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam), clay loam, ~~clay~~
