The DEM Dataset used in the study, with a resolution of 90 m developed from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission), was made available by the International Scientific and Technical Data Mirror Site, Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences (http://datamirror.csdb.cn).
LS factors were calculated using SRTM Dem at a 90 m spatial resolution and then resampled to a 1 km resolution using a nearest neighbor method.
