Results:
Figure. Comparing observations and benchmark estimates of soil erosion (a), sediment yield (b) and POC yield (c) with ELM-Erosion estimates. The bar plots of benchmark estimates in (a) represent the mean and standard deviation values and the bar plots of ELM-Erosion estimates in (a) represent the median, 25th percentile and 75th percentile values. The box plots of ELM-Erosion estimates in (b) and (c) represent the median (red line), mean (red star), 10th percentile (left whisker), 25th percentile (left box edge), 75th percentile (right box edge) and 90th percentile (right whisker) values. Observations and benchmark estimates in (b) and (c) are represented by circles and triangles, respectively.

Results:
Comparison of simulated eroded organic matter C/N weight ratios with previously estimated suspended organic matter C/N ratios at large river basins of the conterminous US. Errorbars represent the mean and standard deviation of previously estimated C/N ratios (Supplementary Table S1) and diamonds represent simulated C/N ratios.
