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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Because of their commercial importance, their widespread occurence and their relatively simple structure, pine forests are some of the most intensively studied ecosystems worldwide, affording unique opportunities for synthesis. We present results from a multi-investigator…

Global warming and the resultant increase in evapotranspiration might lead to lowered water tables in peatlands and an increase in fire frequency. The objective of this study was to investigate some of the potential effects of these changes on peat decomposition. Dry mass losses…

Several structural changes were recognized by CPMAS 13C-NMR and resolution-enhanced IR spectroscopy after humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) were subjected to labratory heating at 350ºC. The NMR results suggested that the HA underwent decarboxylation, selective…

Palynological sampling around wildfire event horizons was used to reconstruct vegetation replacement in a Carboniferous (c. 325 Ma) forest. The Joggins Section (Nova Scotia, Canada) includes 4,000 m of channel and overbank sandstones interbedded with stacked, immature paleosols…

Simulations of potential vegetation distribution, natural fire frequency, carbon pools, and fluxes are presented for two DGVMs (Dynamic Global Vegetation Models) from the second phase of the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project. Results link vegetation dynamics to…

An assessment of the contribution of Canadian forest ecosystems and forestry activities to the global carbon budget was undertaken. The first phase of this study consisted of the development of a computer modeling framework and the use of published information to establish the…

The objective of this study was to quantify carbon (C) distribution for boreal black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) stands comprising a fire chronosequence in northern Manitoba, Canada. The experimental design included seven well-drained (dry) and seven poorly-drained (wet)…

The water chemistry of the euphotic zone in 12 lakes within burned and reference watersheds on Alberta's Boreal Plain was surveyed two years post-fire. Five burned and four reference lakes were located in the Boreal Foothills (mean elevation=1048 m) and three reference lakes…

In order to study the interactions between the important processes within a wildland fire, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the USDA Forest Service are continuing to develop the HIGRAD/FIRETEC wildfire behavior model. HIGRAD/FIRETEC is a coupled atmosphere/wildfire behavior…
