Comprehensive assessment of soil erosion dynamics in Pakistan for 2005 and 2015 at 1 km² spatial resolution using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model and six influencing factors. Soil erosion maps are categorized into four classes: low, medium, high, and very high, revealing an increase from 1.79 to 2.47 ton ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ on the national level.
The national-scale soil erosion dataset for Pakistan (2005 and 2025) at 1km spatial resolution data is available here:

Earth Engine Snippet if dataset already in GEE
for example
var pk_soil_erosion_2005 = ee.Image('users/adeelgeog/Pakistan_soil_erosion_2005_1km')
var pk_soil_erosion_2015 = ee.Image('users/adeelgeog/Pakistan_soil_erosion_2015_1km')
Sample Code: Add a sample code maybe just adding your datasets in the code editor
