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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Wildfires are unplanned conflagrations perceived as a threat by humans. However, fires are essential for the survival of fire-adapted plants. On the one hand, wildfires cause major damage worldwide, burning large areas of forests and landscapes, threatening towns and villages,…

Background: Fire is a natural disturbance that significantly impacts ecosystems and plays a crucial role in the distribution and preservation of biota worldwide. The effects of fires on bird diversity can be both positive, as they can create new habitats, and negative, as they…

Fire is an important component of many forest ecosystems, yet climate change is now modifying fire regimes all over the world, driving a need to understand the impact of fires on the physical and biological processes. In 2022, Elsevier launched a Special Collection that spanned…

Land surface-atmosphere coupling and soil moisture memory are shown to combine into a distinct temporal pattern for wildfire incidents across the western United States. We investigate the dynamic interplay of observed soil moisture, vegetation water content, and atmospheric…

From the text... 'The intimate relations of soil and climate, and the effects of land treatment on stream flow, have been recognized for decades. Since we live in an environment composed of many facets, the best pattern of land us is not always or immediately discernible. Too…

The nature, causes, and rate of pathological deterioration of jack, red, and white pine killed by fire in the Mississagi region of Ontario in 1948 were studied to determine the practicability and probable duration of profitable salvage operations in such stands. Blue and brown…

Experienced fire control men who have used the water rake believe it is a practicable and worthwhile water-saving device. It is recommended for use where water is scarce and in deep duff where water penetration is slow. One water rake is recommended for each tanker unit in areas…

A complete study of ionization in flames involves solution of the problems: (1) identification of the ions (as yet nothing definite is known about their nature); (2) evaluation of the ion concentration (even now there is still some disagreement concerning the exact amount of…

Fire ecology is a complex discipline that can only be understood by integrating biological, physical, and social sciences. The science of fire ecology explores wildland fire’s mechanisms and effects across all scales of time and space. However, the lack of defined, organizing…

At least 600 papers were published during 1956 which deal with combustion, less than half of which could reasonably be reviewed within the allotted space. Since an arbitrary selection was necessary, the important subject of detonation and shock waves has been omitted entirely;…

Ecosystems are frequently disturbed by fires that have an important impact on the soil environment and the composition of soil organisms. In order to provide a baseline for the current research and identify trends on the effects of wildland fire on soil environment and…
