6. Calculate Erosion Production Raster
Description
Calculates mean annual loss using the RUSLE equation.
Usage
Parameters
| Direction | Type | Parameter Name | Data Type | Dialog Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Required | Input Rainfall Erosivity Raster | GPRasterLayer | Input rainfall erosivity, i.e. the R factor in RUSLE. |
| Input | Required | Input Soil Erodibility Raster | GPRasterLayer | Input soil erodibility raster produced in step 5 – Create Soil Erodibility Raster. |
| Input | Required | Input LS Raster | GPRasterLayer | LS parameter raster produced in step 3 – Create LS Raster. |
| Input | Required | Input Landcover Management Raster | GPRasterLayer | Vegetative cover raster produced in step 4 – Create Vegetative Cover Factor Raster. |
| Output | Required | Output Erosion Raster | GPRasterLayer | Final resultant raster created through the RUSLE equation. |
| Input | Optional | Input Erosion Control Practices Raster | GPRasterLayer | Optional. Raster representing the P factor in RUSLE. The default is 1 (none), meaning there are no current erosion control practices. |
