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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The buffalo of the north: caribou (Rangifer tarandus) and human developments

Bergerud, Jakimchuk, Carruthers
The demography, movement and behaviour patterns of eight caribou populations (Kaminuriak, Nelchina, Central Arctic, Fortymile, Porcupine, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Snowhetta) exposed to industrial activities or transportation corridors are reviewed. Behaviour patterns…

Postfire regeneration of plant and soil organic pools in a Picea mariana-Cladonia stellaris ecosystem

Auclair
Postfire recovery of biomass and soil organic pools was measured in a sequence of 10 subarctic lichen woodlands aged from 0 to 140 years. Less than one-tenth of total live biomass combusted at the time of burning. Aboveground biomass combustion of species ranged from nil to over…

Initial effects of slashburning on the nutrient status of two sub-boreal spruce zone ecosystems

Taylor
A study was carried out to investigate the effects of slash-burning on the nutrient status of two Sub-Boreal. Spruce zone ecosystems in the west central interior of British Columbia. The slash, forest floor and mineral soil (0—15 cm depth) in these ecosystems were sampled for…

Calculations of the heat release rate by oxygen consumptions for various applications

Parker
The calculation of heat release rate by oxygen consumption is based on the assumption that all materials release approximately the same amount of heat per unit mass of oxygen consumed. This technique is now being employed to determine the heat release rate of materials in…

Soil properties beneath Pinus halepensis and Quercus calliprinos trees on burned and unburned mixed forest on Mt. Carmel, Israel

Kutiel, Naveh
In order to study the effect of fire on soil properties of a mixed Pinus halepensis Mill. and Quercus calliprinos Webb. forest, pH, organic matter, total and available nitrogen [(N, N-NH4 and N-(NO3+NO2)] and phosphorus and soluble cations (K, Mg, and Ca) were determined from…
