sloplenFUN | R Documentation |
Th function estimates slope length factor for erosion risk assessment. It has options for choosing different algorithms
sloplenFUN(ls,slope,method)
ls |
length of slope in metres |
slope |
slope of land in degrees |
method |
method for deriving slope-length factor. The methods included are: WSmith, Renard, Remortel, Zhang, Nearing, Smith, Foster, David, Morgan, and Moore. |
Slope (degrees) and length of slope (metres) are relief parameters in erosion risk assessment.
a dimensionless quantity of slope-length factor of erosion risk
The slope must be in degrees. The warning given is a reminder to that the slope is given in degrees
