Hi,
I'm using data from SLC (http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/slc/index.html) to compute the K factor of the RUSLE for a place in Alberta.
How can I use these soil information to derive the permeability and soil structure to compute the K-factor of the equation?
It seems that the soil layer table contains what I need, but I don't know how to derive what I need. I use the RUSLE-FAC handbook, but it's not very clear on this part.
Thanks!

@François-Nicolas,
Going through these discussions may be a start point to find your answer, as different sort of possible solutions have been suggested to calculate the RUSLE-K factor.
