Can anybody share the Kc values they used in their Biophysical table for urban land use categories? I would love to see someone else’s for comparison and hear how you calculated them, because the Kc Calculator tool seem… --- ## [Crop coefficient (Kc) estimation from leaf area index (LAI)](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/crop-coefficient-kc-estimation-from-leaf-area-index-lai/2544)

Hello, I am studying a methodology to estimate Kc value for a large region using LAI remote sensing data. At the Invest’s Manual there are 3 sets of equations that may be used for this purpose: “Where Kc values are no… --- ## [Seasonal Water Yield Model - Crop Factors (Kc)](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/seasonal-water-yield-model-crop-factors-kc/765)

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of a good resource for crop factors (Kc) that can be used for general land use / land cover categories. I have found resources for specific species, but I am looking for more general… --- ## [Kc crop coefficient for urban and mining land cover classes](https://community.naturalcapitalalliance.org/t/kc-crop-coefficient-for-urban-and-mining-land-cover-classes/1555)
