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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Impacts of forest practices on surface erosion

Sidle
Before examining the impacts of forest management practices on surface erosion, it is appropriate to ask the question 'Why should we be concerned with surface erosion?' One of the most important impacts of surface erosion on forest lands is the decrease in site productivity…
