| Abstract: |
U.S.V.I. soil erodibility (Kffactor) - low values indicate low vulnerability to erosion, higher values mean higher susceptibility to runoff. |
| Purpose: |
This data set provides the soil erodibility of soils in the U.S.V.I., which describes the susceptibility of an area to erosion. The erodibility is related to the clay, sand and silt composition of the soil. |
