Hi, I downloaded the ESRI 2020 land cover map for my area of interest and am attempting to construct the other input, the landcover to crop table csv, but I have no idea how to do so. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anitha

Hi @aneetainvestvina , and welcome to the forum. Have you looked at the sample data that comes with InVEST? Each model has sample data so you can see what it looks like, how it’s formatted, and you can use it as a template for your own data. By default, sample data is installed when you install InVE…

Hi Stacie, Thank you for your response. I have the sample data, but I’m still curious about how the table was created. According to my understanding, the table must be built using the landcover map, but I have no idea how to accomplish it.

Hi @aneetainvestvina , The table can be built in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet program . When it’s ready, save it as a .CSV file. Our User Guide points out that “When saving the CSV file, be sure to save the file using one of the following encodings: ASCII, UTF-8 or Signed UTF-8…

[image] jesseG: Does that make sense? Please refer to the lucode s in the sample table to see how they each match their respective Value s in the sample landcover map’s attribute table. Hi Jesse, Thanks for your response. This is the part I am unable to decode" Please refer to the lucode s …

Hi @aneetainvestvina - If your land cover map is a raster, it probably already has integer values assigned to each land cover class, so you need to look at these in a GIS, and/or the map’s documentation, to find out those lucode values. If the land cover map is vector, then you’ll either need to as…

Thank you for the detailed response, Stacie. One more question about Monfreda datasets: will this be the same for my ESRI 2020 land cover input as well?

Hi @aneetainvestvina - I don’t have experience using the Crop model, but the User Guide says that the Percentile model requires a mapping between your land cover map and the crops supported in the Monfreda dataset (parameter LULC To Crop Table). The land cover map can be from any source, and the lu…

Thank you, Stacie. I downloaded the 2020 land cover (.tiff) for Vietnam from ESRI and Mekong delta area shape file from another data source ,which is the subject of my research. I retrieved land cover for the Mekong area using QGIS’ extract by mask feature. And when I try to import this Mekong (.ti…

Hi @aneetainvestvina - What happens when the crop model refuses to accept your LULC raster? Does it give an error? Please take a screenshot of the model window with the error message - thanks! ~ Stacie

Thank you, Stacie. Please find attached the error screenshot and input land cover data. MekongDelta.tif (89.1 KB) [Cropmodel_error]

Some people have reported this problem before and it has come down to mismatches between the codes the in the crop table and the codes in the landcover raster. For example:
