Avoided annual soil loss (Mg ha-1 yr-1) and sediment yield (Mg ha-1 yr-1) by presence of natural vegetation.

This data set contains estimated average annual soil loss avoided (Mg ha-1 yr-1) and estimated average annual sediment yield (Mg ha-1 yr-1) avoided aggregated by HUC-12 watersheds for the conterminous US. This data set corresponds to Fig 5 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).
