Post‐Fire Sediment Yield From a Western Sierra Nevada Watershed Burned by the 2021 Caldor Fire by Amy E. East, Joshua B. Logan, Peter Dartnell, Helen W. Dow, Donald N. Lindsay, David B. Cavagnaro

“…We measured sediment yield from a forested, heavily managed 25.4‐km2 watershed in the western Sierra Nevada, California, over 2 years following the 2021 Caldor Fire, by repeat mapping of a reservoir where sediment accumulated from terrain with moderate to high soil burn severity. Sediment yield was less than the geochronology‐derived long‐term average in the first year post‐fire (conservatively estimated at 21.8–28.0 t/km2), low enough to be difficult to measure with uncrewed airborne system (UAS) and bathymetric sonar survey methods that are most effective at detecting larger sedimentary signals. …”
