This item is included in Data Basin, but has not been added to the Florida CPA.
Description:

Created by following the methods of Yongsik Kim ( Soil Erosion Assessment using GISand Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) )

These data are the product of the L factor and S factor

The L factor (slope length factor) is the ratio of soil loss from a slope length relative to the standard erosion plot length of 22.1m

The S factor(slope steepness factor) is the ratio of soil loss relative to a 9% slope, which is the standard slope that experiment plots use.

LS was calculated using this Raster Calculator expression:

Power("%DEM_flw_acc%"*30/22.1,0.4)*Power(Sin("%LS_Slope_degrees%"*0.01745)/0.09,1.4)*1.4
