    ggsoiltexture: An R package based on ggplot2 for soil texture data visualization
    (2025) Acevedo, Sara; Willaredt, Moreen; O’Brien, Lauren; Giraldo, Carolina; Vega, Alejandra; Contreras, Cristina; Pastén Gonzalez, Pablo Arturo
    The soil science community is increasingly adopting R for reproducible data analysis and visualization. Soil texture data visualized in ternary plots is a key component in soil physics, and challenging to plot in a clear way while maintaining consistent data visualization components. reproducible functions in R can lead to clearer and reproducible methods for plotting it. Embracing these principles, the authors developed ggsoiltexture, an R package leveraging the ggplot2 framework to create customizable and publication-quality soil texture plots. The package demonstrated accurate and visually appealing representations of soil texture classifications through case studies using already-published data.
