Modelling of soil erosion protection by ecosystems

Description

This function models soil erosion

Usage

soilerosion.model(lcm, R, K, LS, ndvi)

Arguments

lcm	Land/ water cover map
R	Rainfall erosivity (MJ/ mm / year). Can be either a raster or single value
K	Soil erodibility factor. Can be either a raster with K values for different land cover types or a single value
LS	Topographic factors. Must be a raster. Creating an LS raster is straightforward but computationally expensive in R, so a function is not given.
ndvi	Normalised difference vegetation index

Value

List of three rasters - the ecosystem service ES, structural impact SI, and absolute soil erosion A
