What would a 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile soil profile look like?

I have mentioned the AQP package in previous entries. One of the functions in this package generates aggregate soil profile data, from a collection of soil profiles that are related by some factor: common lithology, common landscape position, and so on. Typically the mean, or median (50th percentile) is used to generate a new aggregate profile, that is representative of the original collection. Extending this idea, I thought that it would be interesting to generate aggregate profiles that are representative of the 25th and 75th percentiles as well. For the sake of clarity, lets call these three new profiles (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) Q25, Q50, and Q75. A 10 cm slicing interval was used as the basis upon which soil properties were aggregated.
