Increasing fire activity in the American west heightens the need for natural resource managers to identify where risk associated with post-fire effects is greatest. This is particularly true for water resources, as many headwater forests are at risk for stand replacing fires. However, current methods to model post-fire erosion often have tradeoffs between model area and spatial resolution. We introduce a novel approach to combine a process-based erosion model and state-and-transition simulation modeling to estimate post-fire sediment yield and identify areas of high risk. We demonstrate how this method can be applied at three scales: large watershed, subwatershed, and single fire event. The combination of the erosion model and state-and-transition simulation model allowed us to identify areas of post-fire high sediment yield potential and increased likelihood of fire occurrence. This method can be used by land managers to prioritize pre-fire restoration practices or post-fire rehabilitation actions.
