Map of erodibility processed for erosion risk assessment of Atacora mountain in northern Benin

The dataset is a map in tif format. The erodibility map was generated by overlaying the slope layer and the lithofacies layer. The resulting map was generated by using erodibility matrix. The decision rules for the overlaying express that the erodibility of a given area will be low when slope is low and soils are weathered slowly. Soil erodibility will be extreme when slope is very steep or extreme and soils are easily weathered.
