Spatial distribution of parameters influencing the hydrology/erosion of the catchment: (a) slope; (b) soil texture; (c) bulk density (Mg m⁻³); (d) moisture at field capacity (%); (e) EHD, effective hydrological top soil depth (cm); (f) 𝐸_𝑡/ 𝐸_𝑜, actual to potential evaporation; (g) cover management factor; (h) SMSC, soil moisture storage capacity (mm); (i) SR, surface runoff (Q) (mm); (j) COH, cohesion of the soil surface (KPa); (k) GC, fraction of ground cover (0-1); and (l) 𝐾, soil detachability index.
