Dataset associated with "Assessment of the effects of the 2021 Caldor megafire on soil physical properties, eastern Sierra Nevadas, USA"

This dataset includes both raw and processed data associated with the publication entitled "Assessment of the effects of the 2021 Caldor megafire on soil physical properties, eastern Sierra Nevadas, USA", published in MDPI Fire (doi: 10.3390/fire6020066). Raw files include exported .xlsx files from Meter Group HYPROP analyses, .csv files from 10 replicate measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity for each analyzed sample using the Meter Group KSAT device, and raw .dat files from measurement of bulk thermal properties. A single additional file also documents the laboratory results from particle size and loss on ignition analyses. Processed data includes curve fitting parameters associated with fitting the soil water retention curves (SWRC) and thermal conductivity functions (TCFs) for each sample, as described in Sion et al. (2023). Additional requests associated with data from Sion et al. (2023) should be directed to the lead author.
