Tool MMF-SAGA Soil Erosion Model

Soil erosion modelling with a modified MMF (Morgan-Morgan-Finney) model (Morgan & Duzant 2008).
This tool is called MMF-SAGA because some things have been implemented differently compared to the original publication. The most important are:

• the extension of the model to support spatially distributed modelling
• the introduction of a "Channel Network" layer
• the introduction of a "rainfall duration" (time span) parameter
• the exposure of the flow depth parameter
