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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

FIRDAT is a FORTRAN IV program to compute the daily components and indexes of the National Fire-Danger Rating System. FIRDAT will also compute and print the absolute, relative and cumulative frequencies of occurrence, and print a cumulative frequency distribution for each of the…

A method of photographing and digitizing radial growth on section rounds from destructively sampled trees for stem analysis was developed and compared in accuracy against hand measurements on those same rounds. Results indicated a high degree of correlation between photographic…

Large suppression programs have been organized in an effort to avoid the potentially large damages from wildfires. To help determine the efficient sizes and usage of these programs, simulation models have been developed. Recent widespread implementation of one such model --…

In Canada about 1.3 million hectares (M ha) of forests are destroyed by wildfires each year, and about 63% of all these fires are man-caused. During the 1980 and 1981 fire seasons, however, about 10 M ha were damaged; estimated annual emissions from forest fires were 224 million…

This paper discusses the occurrence of man-caused forest fires during the summer fire season in a section of northwestern Ontario. Fire occurrence is viewed as being a chance process and a stochastic model is developed to describe it. The results of this study indicate that a…

The overall goal of this project is to provide park managers with information useful in understanding the land uses of the north additions. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) (Public Law 96-487, December 2, 1980) added additions to the former Mount…

Weather trends have been determined from an analysis of long-term rainfall records for towns in the southern part of Canada. The incidence of forest fires in the provinces correlates well with the approximately periodic 'drought patterns' in these areas. Though there are few…

To sum up, policy, strategy, personnel and equipment employed to suppress forest and range fires has changed dramatically over the past 70-year history of the Forest Service. Most of this change has come during the past 25 years, with the establishment of research laboratories…

From the introduction: 'The transition in philosophy from wildfire control to wildfire management, from total protection of resources from fire to integration of fire as a tool to accomplish land and resource management objectives, has only recently taken place. Fire is…

Spatial anomaly patterns of sea-level pressures over North America, the North Pacific, and eastern Asia in the 20th century can be statistically calibrated with spatial anomaly pattern of tree growth in semi-arid western North America. Growth anomalies prior to 1900 were…

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…
