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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We present estimates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission from worldwide biomass burning totaling ~13 Tg N yr-1 on a 1 degree longitude by 1 degree latitude grid. Roughly 80 percent of these emissions occur in the zone from 25N to 25 degrees S. The inventory presented here is…

This chapter discusses the impact of fire on soil carbon (C) pools, recovery after fire, the effects of a fire suppression policy on soil C, methods to estimate C losses from fire, and the implications of fire management on soil C cycling and sequestration.

It is possible to delimit the areas of the North, Central, and South America that are most susceptible to fire and would have been most affected by burning practices of early Americans. Areas amounting to approximately 155 x 105 km² are here designated as the most burnable part…

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…

Evaluating the type and state of Alaska taiga forests with imaging radar for use in ecosystem models
Changes in the seasonal CO2 flux of the boreal forests may result from increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations and associated global warming patterns. To monitor this potential change, a combination of information derived from remote sensing data, including forest type and…

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…
