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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Existing records show that five wildfires burned more than 1,600 hectares of tundra on Alaska's Arctic Slope. Environmental conditions suitable for lightning, ignition, and burning occur more often than previously recognized at this northern latitude.

Following a prescribed fire, structural effects were measured over a 4-year postfire period. Initial tree mortality was concentrated in small diameter and height classes of Abies concolor (Gord. And Glend) Lindl., Pinus lambertiana Dougl., and Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Most…

The postfire recovery sequence in spruce woodland growing on drumlins in the Abitau-Dunvegan Lakes area of the Northwest Territories is described. Four phases are recognized: year 1 to year 20, the Polytrichum phase dominated by P. piliferum, and Lecidea granulosa and L.…

Experiments were carried out during the 1967-1972 period in an attempt to measure cryostatic (frost-induced) pressures by means of soil pressure cells installed in nonsorted circles (mud hummocks) at Inuvik, N.W.T. Although slight soil pressure increases were measured in the…

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…

Wildland fire involves both chemical and physical processes. When wildland fuel burns, its stored chemical energy is converted to thermal energy or heat through complex chemical reactions. But for the reactions to be started, heat must be physically transferred from a firebrand…

The effects of prescribed burning on organic matter, soil nutrients, pH, and spruce and pine establishment, growth and N content were studied. Burning had a beneficial effect on Calluna areas, where a thick raw humus layer occurs, but was not generally beneficial on Myrtillus…
