State-level comparisons of annual soil loss between our calculated Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) estimates and those reported by the USDA National Resources Inventory (NRI)

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-07-24
In the associated manuscript, we used the State-level National Resources Inventory (NRI) annual estimates of sheet and rill erosion to calibrate our RUSLE-derived estimates. This data set provides the data used in and resulting from that calibration. The data set relates to Figs 1 a-d 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).
