Maps of lithofacies processed for erosion risk assessment of Atacora mountain in northern Benin

The dataset is a map in tif format, generated from pedogeological map of Atacora mountain. The lithofacies map identify the different types of rock or sediment/soil surface on the basis of chemical and physical resistance of different formations to weathering process. The classification was based on the cohesive characteristics of each soil of the study area expressed by the erodibility factor K of the RUSLE equation.
