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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A population census and the first stage of a muskox (Ovibos moschatus) habitat study was completed in 1992. Transects were established on a few sites where muskoxen were observed in late winter (early April) and were visited by helicopter in July. Ecosite, vegetation type and…

Decline and mortality of yellow-cedar is the most spectacular forest problem in southeast Alaska. Yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), sometimes called Alaska-cedar, is the principal victim in this decline. Other tree species are largely unaffected. Yellow-cedar has…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…
