. In the western part of the UnitedStates, soil series with either a xeric moisture regime or an aridic regime bordering on a xeric moisture regime make up more than 48,640,000 ha. They are classified in the orders of Mollisols, Aridisols, Alfisols, Inceptisols

. The developed statistical relationships will help quantify post-fire sediment delivery rates across spatial scales in the interior westernUnitedStates and develop process-based scaling relationships.
(SDRs; sediment delivered at the catchment scale divided by the sediment delivered from a plot nested within the catchment) were related to site factors including rainfall characteristics, area, length, and ground cover. Unit-area sediment yields

, and particularly in West Virginia and neighbouring states where coal mining is added to more general earth-moving activities. For comparison, rivers in the UnitedStates move less soil, and their influence is greatest in the western part of the country where steep
By some measures, the role of humans in shaping the landscape is now greater than that of any other geomorphic agent. This effect varies spatially. In the UnitedStates, it is greatest in the east where population density is highest
