Average annual soil loss and sediment yield avoided for each National Land Cover Dataset land cover class for the conterminous US

Description

This data set gives estimates of erosion and sediment yield avoided due to the presence of natural land cover. These estimates are given for each land cover class and summarized for the conterminous US. The data correspond to Fig 6 in the manuscript. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Woznicki, S., P. Cada, J. Wickham, M. Schmidt, J. Baynes, M. Mehaffey, and A. Neale. Sediment retention by natural landscapes in the conterminous United States. SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 745: 140972, (2020).
