Impacts of horizontal resolution and downscaling on the USLE LS factor for different terrains

Impacts of horizontal resolution and downscaling on the USLE LS factor for different terrains

Slope length and slope steepness are critical topographic factors (L and S) in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Chinese Soil Loss Equation (CSLE) for soil erosion modelling. Both slope length and slope gradient are potentially sensitive to spatial resolution when calculated in a GIS frame...
