I just started learning the InVEST model.I would like to know if the land cover map of the study area (forestland, arable land, grassland, construction land, non-construction land, etc.) in my hand can be directly used for crop production model?If so, how does the land-use type code match the crop type?If not, what is the required land cover map?Looking forward to your reply

Hi @18819487979 ,

See this reply to an almost identical question: [About crop production model - LULC input - #2 by dcdenu4](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/about-crop-production-model-lulc-input/1657/2)

After viewing that, let us know if you still have questions. If that thread is the same question you have, feel free to join the discussion there.

Cheers,

Doug
