Update USLE C parameter with planted forest and orchard values #234

Closed hboisgon closed 3 months ago

hboisgon commented 6 months ago

Issue addressed

No issues opened. By default forest USLE C (erosion) is very small 0.001 while in literature, planted forest is 0.0881 and orchard even 0.2188. Shapefile data from Global Forest Watch is available to refine the landuse map with planted forest so this can be use to get better USLE C values. This PR adresses this.

Explanation

Burn planted forest and orchard in the USLE C and update values.
