Downloads pedological PDF documents associated with UCS identifiers from the INRA soil map repository.

Usage

get_pedology_pdf(id_ucs, dirname = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

id_ucs

character used to identify pedology reports. It can be got by using get_pedology()$id_ucs.

dirname

character; directory where the PDF will be saved. Defaults to tools::R_user_dir()

verbose

logical. If TRUE, display progress messages.

Value

Invisibly returns the normalized path to out_dir. Returns NULL invisibly if no valid id_ucs is found.

Details

The function needs unique UCS identifiers typically got from the id_ucs field of pedology, builds download URLs pointing to the INRA soil map repository, and downloads the corresponding PDF documents.

Existing files are skipped unless overwrite = TRUE. All user feedback is handled via the cli package and can be silenced by setting verbose = FALSE.
