The modified global soil erodibility map (Kksat factor) where the measured Ksat values were incorporated into the Wischmeier and Smith (1978) soil texture-based K factor equation. This dataset encompasses global soil erodibility (K) factor maps, with the K factor being estimated through the Wischmeier and Smith (1978) method. The equation incorporates permeability information crudely and indirectly, mainly relying on soil texture details, potentially overlooking factors like vegetation, biopores, and clay minerals. To address this limitation, we integrated measured Ksat values, representing soil hydraulic properties, into the Wischmeier and Smith (1978) soil texture-based K factor equation (referred to as KWischmeier factor) to formulate the Ksat-based soil erodibility (Kksat factor).
