SWAT landuse code

[Retang Mokua]

Hi,

SWAT+Issue

1. Primary issue Location 

Component: (QSWAT+)

Area of Impact: Model input Creating HRUs 

2. Software Versions

QGIS 3.34.3

SWAT+ 3.0.3

3. Project Characteristics

Location: South Africa, mountainous catchment 4169 Ha

Model aim: Water balances (assessing impacts of land cover changes due to eucalyptus plantations and regeneration of savanna-grassland vegetation)

4. Description of issue

I have a problem when creating HRUs, I get a note that my code (EUCL) for eucalyptus doesn't exist. I would like to know what the accepted SWAT code is for Eucalyptus, and I am not even sure of how to create one at the moment. I do not want to use the wrong code as it might lead to some miscalculation of ET, LAI, etc.

I just added a screenshot of my Landcover map

Regards
