The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Concepts of community succession have been viewed from many perspectives because it is such an important aspect of ecology. This paper discusses some of the limitations of the classical concepts of succession when they are applied to northern ecosystems. We attempt to…

Perennial groundwater discharge in a tributary of Donjek River causes severe icing problems at km 1817.5 (mile post 1130) on the Alaska Highway. Surveys of a section across the icing area revealed vertical ground movements of up to 0.92 m between winter and summer. Subsurface…

The structure and function of Alaskan forest ecosystems was examined across two secondary successional sequences. One, the most common in interior Alaska, follows fire in black spruce stands on permafrost sites. The other, less common sequence, follows fire on warmer, generally…

An upland tundra fire, started by lightning, burned 48 km2 near the Kokolik River (69¦ 30' N, 151¦ 59' W) in northwestern Alaska during late July and early August 1977. Permanent plots were established to monitor recovery of severely, moderately, and lightly burned areas as…

A long-term study of regeneration in alternate strip clearcuts in shallow-soil upland black spruce near Nipigon, Ontario, has revealed whifts in tree species composition. The original forest was dominated by black spruce and had minor tree size components of jack pine, balsam…

The problem of verifying predictions of fire behavior, primarily rate of spread, is discussed in terms of the fire situation for which predictions are made, and the type of fire where date are to be collected. Procedures for collecting data and performing analysis are presented…
