Sir, I have 2 question for SDR ; what are the C-factor and P-factor the model calculate total potential soil loss per pixel in the original land cover from the RKLS equation ? I created difference scenarios in the same watershed, the result from each scenario running much be the [soil loss + a…

HI @dhamma57 - The RKLS equation does not include the C and P factors. It represents the amount of erosion that could be produced, without taking into account vegetation or management practices. USLE is the total potential soil loss, which does take into account vegetation and management practices. …

thanks for the answer. I try to figure out the value of the forest area for telling society how much currently forest cover is estimated to be worth and if these forest areas become agricultural areas How much value will be lost? It refers to scenario 1: which is the forest area value for sedimen…

As the User Guide describes , avoided export already includes avoided erosion, so it is not correct to add the two together, or that will double-count avoided erosion. If you’re valuing sediment retention for downstream uses (like drinking water), then use only avoided export. If you’re changing the…
