How suitable are vegetation indices for estimating the (R)USLE C-factor for croplands? A case study from Southeast Brazil

The cover and management factor (C-factor) of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) represents the effects of crop cover, weighted by rainfall pattern, on predicted soil erosion rates. This requires an estimate of seasonal rainfall erosivity and soil protection afforded by the crop at different ph...
