    Hello, Digging a bit deeper into soil erobility (K), I found that an
   attribute, kffact, is included in the SSURGO data (in the chorizon
   table) that is the K factor. So, I think this is going to be the K
   factor I use UNLESS there is some benefit to using the calculation as
   suggested in the appendix - this part was unclear to me. If there is a
   benefit to using the InVEST equation could someone please explain?
   Alternatively, is the equation just suppose to be used when K factor
   is not available? Thanks, Kevin
