Specifically, we compute catchment slope and catchment area\index{catchment area} from a digital elevation model\index{digital elevation model} using R-GIS bridges (see Chapter \@ref(gis)). -Curvatures might also represent valuable predictors, and in the exercise section you can find out how they would impact the modeling result. +Curvatures might also represent valuable predictors, and in the Exercise section you can find out how they would impact the modeling result. To compute catchment area\index{catchment area} and catchment slope, we can make use of the `sagang:sagawetnessindex` function.^[Admittedly, it is a bit unsatisfying that the only way of knowing that `sagawetnessindex` computes the desired terrain attributes is to be familiar with SAGA\index{SAGA}.] `qgis_show_help()` returns all function\index{function} parameters and default values of a specific geoalgorithm\index{geoalgorithm}.
